‘Why don’t you tell me’
© music & lyrics by Ian Martyn
I can see it in your face
I can read it in your mind
All the thoughts you want to tell me
All the words you try to find
I can hear your heart beating
When I watch you agonise
‘Cos I know every bit about you
I can see the anguish in your eyes
Why don’t you tell me?
Why can’t you say?
All the times I turn to you
Are the times you turn away
I’ve just a lit a candle and
Asked the angels to guide you from above
To help you find your way once more
And to fill you with their love
I’ve even been to church
And I’ve whispered a little prayer
For you to know I love you
To know I’ll always be there
Why don’t you tell me?
Why can’t you say?
All the times I turn to you
Are the times you turn away
Why don’t you tell me?
Why can’t you say?
All the times I turn to you
Are the times you turn away
Why don’t you tell me?
Why can’t you say?
Every time I turn to you
You always turn away
