I lost all hope and I made a spell
I threw your love in a wishing well
In times long gone
I watched it sink as I called your name
I held my breath but you never came
In times long gone
In times long gone
In times long gone when your love was born
A word was wrong on a page half-torn
In times long gone on a sweeping wave
I brought your love to my secret cave
I held it close and I watched it bleed
Your wounded love that you didn't need
In times long gone
It stood no chance but it was so brave
Your drowning love that you didn't save
In times long gone
In times long gone
In times long gone when your love was born
A word was wrong on a page half-torn
In times long gone on a sweeping wave
I brought your love to my secret cave
A sacred rock had a missing rune
A silent wolf heard a howling moon
I sat all night by a fragile flame
I kept it warm but you never came
You never came
And there it was, just a coin to toss
Your broken love that became my cross
In times long gone
And there I was, out of magic tricks
Without your love that I couldn't fix
In times long gone
In times long gone
In times long gone when your love was born
A word was wrong on a page half-torn
In times long gone on a sweeping wave
I brought your love to my secret cave
In times long gone
In times long gone
In times long gone
In times long gone
