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?
