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 

your 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
