There was a time
Dark and devine
Exciting and new,
shameful and true
Free to explore,
we had it all:
Towering trust,
insatiable lust
Clouding the truth,
both of us knew:
this sordid affair
is ending in tears
Yes, we would go on,
knowing the wrong.
Until the day,
it was taken away...
Oh, all our love
fell down
to earth
Here, broken and cold
with grave remorse
But for a while
it all made sense
It might have been just a dark
pretense,
but you had me,
and I loved it
To be with you,
to be the one,
to live a lie,
it really got me all excited
I felt wanted
Then in the night
the sorrow inside,
was taken away,
deliverance came
Fell from the sky,
heaven replied
Salvation in streams,
silent and clean
All that we were,
all that we knew,
faded away,
with tears in the rain
Yes, all that we were,
all that we knew,
is fading away,
like tears in the rain
All that we were,
all that we knew
...fading away...
All that we were,
all that we knew
...fading away...
