[Verse 1]
Wasn't long ago we were dancing in the sunshine
Then the gray skies came and clouded our parade
Let’s go back to a time before tears filled your eyes
And I never said the things I didn't mean
Tell me how's the weather out in Tulsa?
Tell me now how is your Grandma Jean?
How’s that garden coming we planted in the springtime?
Tell me now is your thumb still green?

[Chorus]
And I can't tell you why the wind blows
Or why the sun rises in the east
Why April showers fall from the sky
Or what keeps you comin' back to me

[Verse 2]
Over and over, time and time again
Long distance loving, longtime friend
What keeps you grounded when you wanna fly?
What keeps your motor running when you feel it's gonna die?

[Chorus]
I can't tell you why the wind blows
Or why the sun rises in the east
Why April showers fall from the sky
Or what keeps you comin' back to me, oh
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Like waves keep coming from the sea
You keep comin' back for me
I can't tell you why the wind blows
Why colors fade and leaves fall from the trees
Why April showers fall from your eye
Or what keeps you comin’ back
What keeps you comin’ back

[Chorus]
I can't tell you why the wind blows
Or why the sun rises in the east
Why April showers fall from the sky
Or what keeps you comin’ back to me, oh
What keeps you comin' back to me
