How come you never go there?
How come I’m so alone there?
I went up to the window
Lightning banging on the cymbals
I ripped into the night
Came storm into your eyes
My horse had worked the fields too long
My bear had lost his innate calm
It’s true enough we’re not at peace
But peace is never what it seems
Our love is not the light it was
When I walk inside the dark I’m calm
While we look for where it went
It’s only echoes in the melody
How come you never go there?
How come I’m so alone there?
We waste time on blame and weak revenge
Waste energy on projections
We’re living proof we've got an echo
And stop looking through the halo
We carry on as if the time is through
You carry on as if I don’t love you
And so we find the way to die
To cut the heart out of the doubt now
The room’s full but hearts are empty
Like the letters never sent me
Words are like a lasso
But you’re an instrumental tune
How come you never go there?
How come I’m so alone there?

| elitry (Lafayette, IN) | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 17:53 Saw her at Harvest Picnic in Ontario this summer. Incredible, incredible performance (this song included). Prior performances in the day by Emmylou Harris and Sarah Harmer + pro-farm/local/organic foodies everywhere = bliss. If you have a chance to see her perform live, it is totally worth it. |

| vanmas (Leiden, Netherlands) | Posted: Jun 27, 2012 - 03:09 From another very good album of Feist! Thanks for playing this! |

| On_The_Beach (The Blue Planet) | Posted: May 05, 2012 - 17:01 If Feist would just ask me, I would happily go there. |

| Dave_Mack (Ball of Confusion) | Posted: Jan 16, 2012 - 16:31 I heard this song was about oral sex. No, I didn't, actually. But kinda funny. Maybe... |
| Stingray (NWO reloaded) | Posted: Jan 13, 2012 - 12:20 Not good - not bad! |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Jan 10, 2012 - 22:37 Me too. I cringe but listen with interest. Technically interesting but Feist never gets me to a state where I forget that I am listening. |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Jan 10, 2012 - 22:36 Cool bananas |
| truist (Ohio) | Posted: Jan 03, 2012 - 07:49 I like this song pretty well, but for some reason I cringe a bit whenever it comes on. It's played just a little too often for me. |

| FooledAgain (43°40'N 79°20'W) | Posted: Dec 07, 2011 - 19:07 Love the time signature on this. 6/4 or perhaps 4/4 alternating with 2/4. |

| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Nov 17, 2011 - 21:56 i really do plan on buying this album is some form somehow |
| sunybuny (The West Coast & Best Coast of FLA) | Posted: Nov 08, 2011 - 10:57 I usually like Feist but this song is really awful. Guess every artist is entitled to one bad song - but does it deserve air time??!! |

I love the earthiness of the music, and the intimacy. It's a different sound for her, but much better than her previous, more slickly produced work. I'd never heard of her before RP started playing some of her songs recently, but I've been bewitched. Lovely voice, and the background horns and rhythm really make this a song to make you sit up and listen. |
