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
