Beautiful Question Songtext

von Richard Buckner

Shattered as I saw you then
Fallen from the weight
Of undue excuses
Settled with your handles
Too many that were made
As the ties unravelled
Out of the night
Hushing away
What no-one seemed to mention
While asking us why
We can explain
Such a beautiful question

Saved at the height of the closing
The caption should say
‘He doesn't know where he's going'

Coming at the heels of
Returning to your ways
Chasing empty reasons
None of the lives
You left in the wake
As the draw-downs had ended
Gathered in spite your story remains
Such a beautiful question
