Why the Sea is Salt Songtext
von Them Bird Things

Why is summer sweet
And winter bitter
Why do the stars shine
And Venus glitter

Why is coal black
And diamonds bright
Why is the day short
And dark at night


I often wonder
Why the sea is salt
And tears run in the rain
I have no idea, my dear
It′s a common refrain

Why is autumn
A riot of red
Why does the spring
Give birth to the dead

Why does the weeping
Willow weep
Why do we dream
And why do we sleep


Why is life brief
And death oh so long
Why have I
come To the
end of this song...
