Never Knew Why - Tom House

Never knew why you came back Never knew why you cried

Never knew why you bothered at all

Out there in the rain Bareheaded and plainly Lost in your own misery

And you couldn’t recall All the reasons you ran

That anger that finally broke free

And I never knew why No I never knew why

All that anger was directed at me

Like an old tin can The dreams of a man

Can be stomped on crushed and kicked to the side

And time after time when I needed you most

You disappeared Found you someplace to hide

And I never knew why Though I’d sure like to hear it

I’d sure like to hear it from you

Why it never was real It never was true

You couldn’t conceal What it meant to you

And I never knew why

No I never knew why

It portrays an extreme dialogue between the Devil and a healer.
