Long were the days when the past was fast on our tails
And rugged its claws
And rugged our trails

Long were the days that we lived not knowing what for
And distant their edge
Yes distant their shore

Long were the nights that we pledged to another love
And long were the nights that we pledged to the song above

Long gone the time now when we thought that lust was a risk
It was always worth to take
And a mistake to miss

Far now the voice in our ears that used to whisper the hurts
That used to whisper the worst

The grace and the fear

Hushed were the nights where we hid from all that
Hushed were the nights and its breath at our backs

Long were the days but they still were not quite long enough
To conquer it all
To play just and play rough

And so bold was the day when we took up the bags and took off
Bold was the night
That caught up on our bluff
