[Verse 1]
Once, we lit a candle in the cold, dark street
And hoped the world one day would burst into flame
We spilled a cup of water there in the desert heat
And dreamed the earth was drenched in the grace of love's sweet rain

[Chorus]
Now you're the catch in my throat
Was I in your dream of last goodbyes?
Now you're the thorn in my heart
Was I a flash in your eyes?

[Verse 2]
Once, we pulled some angels from our magic hats
Then we danced with them along the scenic routes
Here is the dream room where we left our tracks
And dared to imagine what it all was all about

[Chorus]
Now you're the catch in my throat
Was I in your dream of last goodbyes?
Now you're the thorn in my heart
Was I a flash in your eyes?

[Bridge]
And Cohen was singing "If It Be Your Will"
We heard him singing "If It Be Your Will"

[Verse 3]
Once, we painted pictures most the world would never see
And hung them up on nails that held God's feet and hands
We built a playhouse in a fallen tree
That you'd be first to leave was never in the plans

[Chorus]
Now you're the catch in my throat
Was I in your dream of last goodbyes?
Now you're the thorn in my heart
Was I a flash in your eyes?
Was I a flash in your eyes?

[Outro]
Feels like the late great's around us here
Feels like the late great's around us here
Feels like the late great's around us here
