Driving out of our city on a warm night
Those memories flash as a golden light
Still hard to believe it was so long ago
And where you went I will never know
So much life passed between now and then
Here I am too much thought about you once again
Wish I could say I want you near me now
But I know that's not right if it could be somehow
The incurable malady was love for you I thought I gave
This long lost sense of tragedy will follow me beyond the grave
On this phantom ride of loss and regret
Many countless days numb without your velvet
Devil may care thoughts never appealed
For tomorrow was more the zeal
Ache to see your face now on the horizon
Wanting another day with you still sursprisn'
Tears stream from my eyes this warm night
Cold to the touch in this frozen light
The incurable malady was love for you I thought I gave
This long lost sense of tragedy will follow me beyond the grave
