When ties came to sever
the words that came so clever
I no longer could employ
I no longer could enjoy
working on a song
It all just came out wrong
History
That just keeps going on
Mystery
Maybe never will be solved
It was the love of me and you
That made life come shining through
It makes us who we are right now
We’ll have to work with that somehow
Now
Then lies began to lever
Vows we thought that were forever
And cruelty came to serve
what neither one of us deserved
The effort was lost on us
Now we simply have to trust
History
That we hope to learn from
Mystery
That has made us deaf and dumb
It was the love of me and you
That made life come shining through
It makes us who we are right now
We’ll have to get along somehow
Now
