|
I could see you coming |
|
From miles away |
|
I didn't want it, no |
|
No, not today |
|
I could feel you coming |
|
I felt so out of touch |
|
Hanging on so tight for life |
|
While the bones in your hand got crushed |
|
How come I always know |
|
When the worst is gonna come? |
|
Sometimes it's so hard to know |
|
When you can't change what's gonna come |
|
How could they make you go? |
|
How could they break your hands? |
|
How come I always have to know |
|
These things |
|
I can't stand? |
|
I loved your fragile fingers |
|
So thin, so smooth, so long |
|
I lose my bank of memory |
|
How did we ever get on? |
|
I loved your fragile fingers |
|
Oh, how they used to soothe me |
|
I need to hear your play again |
|
To smooth my hard feelings |
|
How come they've made you go? |
|
How come they broke your hands? |
|
How come I always have to know? |
|
How come I never understand? |
|
I never understand |
|
Oh, understand |
