Why This One - Cowboy Junkies

Of all the lives to live why this one?

Filled with could-have-been.

No fun

Countless nights of anxious frustrations

Of all the lives to live why this one?

Of all the souls to meet why these two?

One, old and dark, furious as a shrugging ocean

The other, shiny, fresh as a winter morning

Of all the souls to meet why these two?

Another night in bed with you

Another day beside you gone

Slipping softly off to sleep

You say, «do you ever wonder why this one?»

A dusty simple-minded piece of fiction

Strange and odd, twisted as a contradiction

A glittering jewel of flaws and celebration

Another night in bed with you

Another day beside you gone

Slipping softly off to sleep

You say, «do you ever wonder why this one?»

You say, «do you ever wonder why this one?»

You say, «do you ever wonder why this one?»

Why this one, why this one, why this one?
