One Good Reason
Eagle · Present/Future [2001]
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
