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
