Was he given a package by a man on the train?

We found his car by the roadside later that day

He left his lights burning. He left his perfect lawn

His automatic sprinklers about to switch on

Did he find a black glove on the cliffs by the bay?
Dm                      F                          
Why would he leave us, why would he leave us this way?

waving to everyone as he went on his way

Polly from Red River, Rose from Green Falls

Was he stopped in the airport by a man with a cane?

We found his car by the roadside later that day

But no answer sounded but wind flying through
       C            Am            F               
as we tore up the green lawn and torched all the rooms

Why would he leave us, why would he leave us this way?
