Leonard Cohen – Fingerprints Lyrics

Fingerprints Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

I touched you once too often
Now I don’t know who I am
My fingerprints were missing
When I wiped away the jam
Yes, I called my fingerprints all night
But they don’t seem to care
The last time that I saw them
They were leafing through your hair

Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
Yeah, I thought I’d leave this morning
So I emptied out your drawer
A hundred thousand fingerprints
They floated to the floor
You know you hardly stopped to pick them up
No, you don’t care what you lose
Ah, you don’t even seem to know
Whose fingerprints are whose

Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?

And now you wanna marry me
You wanna take me down the aisle
You wanna throw confetti fingerprints
Ha, you know that’s not my style
For sure I’d like to marry you
But I can’t face the dawn
With any girl who knew me
When my fingerprints were on

Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?

Fingerprints, oh, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
