Gone it didn’t last too long
No lack of trying on our part
As I was saying to the others
It’s a miracle we try anything at all
You pour your heart out
Knowing full well

It could fail, fail, fail
But how could we know back then?
It’s a rare old grail, pricelessly to fail
Older sins cast longer shadows
When we watch them fade and die

It’s a lovely day in sunlight’s golden ray
But that just slips away isn’t it a shame
And it’s cold now at night

And I hear your name
Calling me back through the days
You’re a rare old flame, burning bright again
All those things that we shared matter now
I just can’t say goodbye
Do I have to try?

Honey, it’s no crime to lose your way
Everyone, in their turn, gets to fail

Well how could we know back then?
Such a rare old grail, (pricelessly) to fail
Older sins cast longer shadows
When we watch them fade and die

It’s a miracle
