Item of the Day: the song 'Why' by Rascal Flatts

Place: as you drive among the traffic, a flowing river of glistening cars and glowing clouds of gasoline... the wind brush you like fingers with splendid hints of coming Autumn on their tips.

Why: death is unstoppable. A visitor that drops by without invitation or warning. You can't touch him and you can't greet him, he doesn't allow you to make him a cup of burning coffee or offer him a chance to stay for dinner. You can't change his mind once he's made it up. Death is unstoppable. He is unpredictable. You can only count on death to be dependable. He doesn't come without a purpose. You can depend on him to be dependable...

Lyrics:
You must have been in a place so dark
You couldnt feel the light
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This cant be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh why, thats what I asking
Was there anything i could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a 17 year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun
Oh why thats what I keep asking
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
Oh God only knows what went wrong
And why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah, now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face.
The tangled thoughts I hear
The mocking bird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh I ,theres no comprehending
And who am I to try judge or explain.
All my life
To have one burning question.
Who told you life wasnt worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
Now your gone and we cry
Cause its just not like you to walk away
In the middle of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song
