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

We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

In dreams, I meet you in long conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, and different cities
And time is taking a 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

Distance, tire me, break down, fighting
Silence, train runs off his 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

We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair
