And I Wonder Lyrics
and you never laugh when i call anymore
the sound of your voice echoes in my head
like i am dead but not in heaven
how far away, like a dream i used to know
and so you wonder why i cry?
and there's no warm hand there to meet me
only the sound of baggage carousel
is the only sound that greets me
faces stare at me as if they know i am alone
and so you wonder, why i cry?
and im back on the block, where i say im living
people i know by name, don't know me
i never met them to begin with
counting the postcards that i wrote but never sent
and so you wonder why i cry?

The Slackers paint such a great picture for their songs. Depressing ska songs are just great too, because most people only know about typical "goofy" ska bands. Everytime i listen too this song, it makes me want to move down to New Orleans.

Beautiful sorrow.
They opened with this song when they played in New Orleans two months after Hurricane Katrina hit. Never really stood out to me until I saw Vic's delivery of these lyrics on stage.
"the sound of your voice echoes in my head like i was dead but not in heaven." Beautiful.

Correct lyrics
six years in new york city and im back on the block, where i say im living Neighbors I know by face, they don't know Me i never met them to begin with
opening the door down on president remembering all the postcards that i wrote but never sent and so you wonder why i cry?
