Time Turns Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

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
