How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there I went up to your window Lightly banging on the cymbals A writ into the night Came storming to your house My horse had worked the fields too long My bear had lost its innate calm It's true enough for not at peace But peace is never where the sea sees Our love is not the light it was When I walk inside the dark I'm calm Where we look for where we went It's only echoes in the melody How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there We waste time on blame I wreak revenge Wasted energy and rejections We're living proof, we gotta let go And stop looking through the halo We carry on as if our time is through You carry on as if I don't love you And so we find the ways out To cover hard I have a doubt The room is full of eyes and empty Like your letters never sent me Words like a lasso You're an instrumental tune How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there How come you never go there How come I'm so alone there
