It's a Miracle

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
