Peter Skellern – I Wonder Why lyrics
I wonder why it is the sky's so quiet tonight?
There's not a cloud in sight, just burning stars.
It seems so strange to me, the way the waves obey.
The moon that shines above. And draws them to eternity.
I wonder why it is that you are here with me,
I wonder why?
I wonder why it is, the sea's so calm tonight
The sand's a ghostly white, beneath the moon?
It seems so strange to me to stand in endless space.
And know that in this place, I'm held within its timeless sway.
I wonder why it is that you are here with me,
I wonder why?
The wisdom of the world with all its mystery,
Is strangely home to me on this great shore.
And no book can teach what I can feel tonight. The sky above,
The sea below and you my love.
Tonight the world is mine, we're on the edge of time
I wonder why?
I wonder why it is the sky's so quiet tonight.?
There's not a cloud in sight, just burning stars.
It seems so strange to me, that reason how we left.
We soar in wingless flight amidst this vast eternity.
Tonight this world of mine is on the edge of time.
I wonder why?

    In the midst of everything I can see, I cannot explain why it is the way it is. Even the fact that you are with me. All I can do is experience it in a kind of awe. I cannot understand why it is as it is, but experience it. I wonder why...
    A question that has been at the front of peoples' minds for millenia... there is only imaginings, and wonderment.

    This is simply a song of wonder. In the midst of all that we see, all that we are experiencing, we are humbled and cannot really explain why it should be as it is. Even wondering why the person I am with is there with me. All we can do is experience it all, in wonderment, wondering why...

    It is simply a song that tells of the feeling of being humbled by all those things around us, yet assured that this is where we are. Including the person we are with. How small we are in the midst of it all. We cannot control any of it. Why should it be?
