Verse 1]Long handwritten notes, deep in your pocketWords, how little they mean, when you’re a little too lateI stood right by the tracks, your face in a locketGood girls, hopeful they’ll be and long they will wait
[Chorus]We had a beautiful magic love thereWhat a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair
[Verse 2]In dreams, I meet you in warm conversationAnd we both wake in lonely beds, different citiesAnd time is taking its sweet time erasing youAnd you’ve got your demonsAnd darling, they all look like me
[Chorus]‘Cause wе had a beautiful magic love therеWhat a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair (Whoa, oh, whoa, oh)
[Bridge]Distance, timing, breakdown, fightingSilence, the train runs off its tracksKiss 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 backA beautiful magic love thereWhat a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful
[Chorus]What we had, a beautiful magic love thereWhat a sad, beautiful, tragic, love affairWe had a beautiful magic love thereWhat a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair
