lyrics

Black Orchid Blues Key of Gm / 74 bpm / Time 5:43

Why does everything have to go so wrong
Why do struggle for so long
When all around me everybody’s acting crazy
Why do we carry on

And yes, this is an evil time
I say, Oh yeah this is an evil time
When all around you all you can see baby is so many people
Ain’t no reason why
No, no...ain’t no reason

I know, whoa yeah that someday love will find a way
Whoa and I know whoa oh oh that someday love’s gonna find a way
Yeah and we’ll end all of this suffering cause I know
that love’s the only way

Why, does everything have to go so wrong
Why, why, why why why does everything have to go so wrong
Now when all around everybody’s acting crazy
Why do we carry on, do we carry on
