Verse 1
E
I lie awake at night
A

and think back just as far as I can
A
To the sound of my father
A

To the thought of Sputnik in preflight
E
Before I could fashion my poverty
A

Before I mistrusted the night
A

E
I must have known something
I said, why, Mama, why

A
E
I'm hollow before my time
A

It looks like the desert here to me
A
Where is the promise of
kingdoms of dreams
E
but there's trouble at home
A
E
They vanish in the mist like Saint Nicholas
A
And lie scattered in the ghettos
I said why, Mama, why
