“Long handwritten note deep in our pockets
Words, how little they mean when we're a little too late
I stood right by the tracks, your face in my head
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

In dreams I meet you in warm conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, different cities
And time is taking its sweet time erasing you
And you've got your demons, and, darling, they all look like me

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 love affair”
EJR
