One Good Reason

Eagle · Present/Future [2001]

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Like a thief you've stolen

Like rain on a grave

Like a priest who's spoken

But failed to save



Now the air is empty

And the ground the same

Love has gone to be buried

Beside my name



Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there



Why couldn't you have told me

about your liar's kiss

I can't believe you'd leave me

At a time like this



And the wind is howling

And it's a dying dream

And my faith is silent

While my doubts scream



Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there



Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care



Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care



Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care
