Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey &
John Lombardo

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 are open

and I wondered why

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

I thought you’d never reach me

on that sorry day

your arms were open wide

and I wondered why
