Paroles: 10,000 Maniacs. The Earth Pressed Flat. Time Turns.

I saw time turn so much there to unlearn
You were envy, you wouldn't say
You tore heart strings that sorry day

Dark light hid the tears
One for each of the years
Love has reasons, reason never knows
Time turns over, love overflows

I should have spoken sooner
On that sorry day
Your arms were open

And I wondered why, I wondered why
Wondered why, I wondered why
Wondered why, I wondered why

Love has reasons, reason never knows
Time turns over, love overflows

I thought you'd never reach me
On that sorry day
Your arms were open
And I wondered why, I wondered why

Wondered why, I wondered why
Wondered why, I wondered why
Wondered why, I wondered why

Five years passed to the day
Time heals some people say
When you hurt the ones I love

You're also hurting me
And time turns over
Turning you from me

You'd never reach me
On that sorry day
Your arms were open wide
And I wondered why

Wondered why, I wondered why
Wondered why, I wondered why
Wondered why, I wondered why
