Fingerprints Lyrics - Early Recordings - Joan Osborne

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
