Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
I've been here so long, and
That's where you have gone, so I
Grab my bag and I'm on my way

The old man told me that I shouldn't go
There are things I couldn't know
Said you may be wise, but you
Haven't seen her eyes so
Shook his hand and I hit the road

Why, why, why, why, why
Why won't the sun rise?
Why, why, why, why, why
Can't I forget your eyes?

Shadows reachin' out for my heart
And I keep moving on through the dark
Travelled many miles, and I'd
Love to stop a while, but
Nothing (?) gonna keep us apart

Why, why, why, why, why
Why won't the sun rise?
Why, why, why, why, why
Can't I forget your eyes?

Promises I made were made of glass
I gathered all the shards to bring to you
A lit a candle and I prayed for forty nights
Haven't heard an answer yet
I like the silence anyway

Got my ticket to the masquerade
Sold this soul, and the money paid
The road is long again, and the
World just full of sin, so I
Grab my gun and I'm on my way

I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
I'll see you when I get there
I'm going to see you when I get there
