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 
     C           Am        F              
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?

He drove through the town with a smile on his face

waving to everyone as he went on his way

But no answer sounded but wind flying through

as we tore up the green lawn and torched all the rooms

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