FINGERPRINTS

Fingerprints (single) (2020). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

​

The memories float up the mountainside

The branches sway, I stand amazed

By the fingerprints you’ve laid upon my life

From first held hands to our grandest plans

Our fingerprints look more the same with time

It has to be that I’m you, you’re me.

It’s like being alone but better since you’re mine

I can’t explain and that’s okay

Oh when I see you

And the arms I fall into

You’re the Queen of the Valley

And it’s me you carry

To a better place with a better view

Certainty takes root inside my bones

Like the rock beneath our planted feet

As you promise me I’ll never be alone

The clarity of your love for me

​

Oh when I see you

And the arms I fall into

You’re the Queen of the Valley

And it’s me you carry

To a better place with a better view

​

Floating with you down the mountainside

Through winding roads as the sunlight goes

Our families crowd around for dinner time

Life’s better since your fingerprints
