You're lookin' for a reason and I wish I could explain
If I could recognize the truth, babe, I would give this thing a name
I can't admit it's over even though it seems that something's not quite right
And as the questions fly tonight,
 
You're askin' why, baby - I swear I wish I knew
You wonder why, baby - but it's a mystery and I haven't got a clue ...

I’d love an explanation for these emotions undefined
Babe, I must confess your guess is just as good as mine.
Then as you turn your back and walk away
Working hard to shed a lonely tear
All of a sudden, things come clear

I wondered why baby - you’re not the girl I thought I knew
Now I know why, baby - I played the fool for you but I finally got a clue …

Until this moment - you kept your secret out of sight
But now you gave yourself away & overplayed your hand tonight …

Well, I thought I was the problem - turns out I was wrong
You tried to lay that old guilt trip on me but it was you girl, all along

I’m gonna turn my back and walk away and leave you to those little games you play,
And this’ll all work out okay - cuz it’s a sweet relief, to finally say

Good-bye, baby this was a long time overdue, now don’t you wonder
Why, baby I played the fool for you, But I finally got a clue …

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you strong
You learn to fight to work out right from wrong
Rising from the bedlam, I heard an ancient song
Offer up the simple truth so well, sayin’ only time – only time will tell.
 
Sacred vows, and promises to keep
An endless war of words cuz talk is cheap
Through your children's laughter, or the lonely tears you weep
Each storyline awaits a last farewell – sayin’ only time – only time will tell.

They say she has a way to heal your pain
Maybe if you’re lucky, she will bring you round again.
And when she comes full circle, will her secrets still remain? 

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you strong
We’re bound to fight to work out right from wrong
And when we face the truth we might have known it all along, ... still we
Climb aboard and ride this carousel ...  keep on    
Askin’ all those questions we can’t answer very well ...  cuz
Only time - only time will tell.

You came into my life - broke down the castle walls
But you were well within your rights as the patron saint of this lost cause

How could I know you’d bring a miracle my way
If someone asked me, they might have heard me say

There's no use countin' on this broken heart of mine,
Girl you don't know me  -  I'll just leave you lonely
Don't put your faith into this broken heart of mine, cuz I will
Only make you cry, when it's
Time for you and I to say goodbye.

Had some ancient history - tried to hide it all away
You saw some finer things in me
Now an old dog learns some new tricks every day

Some say that love is blind, but you showed me the light
You’re some kind of miracle, such a beautiful sight

You worked your magic on this broken heart of mine, oh girl
You know me - now I'll never be lonely
You can rely upon this faithful heart of mine, and
What we have will never die
Because you got me to believe in you and I.

Do I dare to whisper all the things I’m dreaming of
Now that you’ve got me believing in this miracle of love?

You worked your magic on this broken heart of mine, oh girl
You know me - now I'll never be lonely
You can rely upon this faithful heart of mine, and
What we have will never die
Because you got me to believe in you and I.

The push & pull - the give & take - crazy tangled webs that time conspired to break
The ups & downs - the rights & wrongs
As we danced around the shadows and got lost inside the songs   
That filled our hearts, and ruled our days
Took our chances all for granted, never dreamed they’d slip away
The sweet perfume of summer rain
How the mem’ry of it lingers but it won’t come back again    
Cuz autumn turned her back on you
And then winter brought a deeper kind of blue. 

The ebb & flow - the rise & fall - swept us up into the glory of it all
Back & forth – from here to there
Racing headlong at tomorrow somewhere down that road we shared
When faith was strong – or maybe blind
We went chasing after rainbows, any fortune we could find
No time to rest – or catch our breath
Now the sun is hanging fire on a fault line in the west
As twilight paints this world we knew - in my mind it’s all a deeper kind of blue. 
[solo]

As twilight paints this world we knew - in my mind it’s all a deeper kind of blue. 
The past is gone - I know it’s true
Still in my heart I find a deeper kind of blue.
