Long handwritten notes
Deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean
When you're a little too late

I stood right by the tracks
Your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be
And long they will wait

We had
A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad
Beautiful, tragic love affair

In dreams
I meet you in warm conversation
And we both wake
In lonely beds and different cities

And time
Is taking its sweet time erasing you
And you've got your demons and, darling
They all look like me

'Cause we had
A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad
Beautiful, tragic love affair
Oh, oh

Distance, timing
Breakdown, fighting
Silence
The train runs off its tracks

Kiss me, try to fix it
Could you just try to listen?
Hang up, give up
And for the life of us we can't get back

A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad
Beautiful, tragic
Beautiful, tragic
Beautiful

What we had
A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad
Beautiful, tragic love affair

We had
A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad
Beautiful, tragic love affair
