Joan Osborne - Fingerprints lyrics

Why does it take so long for you to leave me

Once you've said goodbye

I wish it could be over quickly

Clean and painless and dry

But your kiss has left its taste with me

And your hands have left their mark

My ears are full of whispers

And murmurs in the dark

Why does it take so long for you to leave me

Now that you're not here

I wish that I could fight this feelin'

Make you disappear

But my body has a memory

And it holds you close within

The smell of you at midnight

The flavor of your skin

CHORUS

I feel your fingerprints

On my heart

I thought that I could handle you

I thought I was so smart

Now I feel your fingerprints

Nothin' I can do

Ain't it touching how I can't get over you

I can't believe I can't forget you

You didn't matter that much

Is it gonna take another man

To wash away your touch

REPEAT CHORUS
