  • 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 is

    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 and weak revenge
    Waste 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, now

    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? Writer/s: Leslie Feist
