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
