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
