Time, time makes a mockery

Of all your dreams, this is a certainty

You would cry, if you knew



Life, life has no alibis

for all its crimes, this I can testify

You would cry, if you knew

What it could do to you

You would cry if you knew



Chorus:

Am I fool to expect a miracle

Such a fool to be so gullible

Oh I need a miracle

Tonight...



Once we were innocent

But all our lives

We've been taught to repent



I would cry 'cause I knew

What you were going through

I would cry 'cause I knew



Repeat chorus
