The Miracle That Never Came - Straylight Run

The Needles The Space

The Miracle That Never Came

My window pane was leaking glass

I cut my arm and then you laughed

I jumped from just one story high

And now I’m stuck here till I die

Now I’m stuck here till I die

Now I’m stuck here till I die

Don’t you remember me?

I swear I knew you

When I knew you there

We loved and learned under the sun

We had more fun than anyone

She’s 8 years old and moving out

She’s half way across the country now

She’s smarter than the lot of us

She doesn’t break or bend or fuss

Maybe she’s in Heaven now

Or maybe she’s back here somehow

She’s wearing all the finest clothes

And kept in jewelry head to toe

It isn’t possible to know

There is no ending to the show

The grand finale, big hurrah

One day we’re here, the next we’re not

Oh, look what I’ve done here

Oh, look what I’ve done here

Let these thoughts creep in

Let them seep right in

Let these thoughts creep in

Let them seep right in

I hope she doesn’t have to see

What became of her family

Her father left after she died

Her brothers cried and cried and cried

She took your man, I took your name

The miracle that never came

But oh, her life was beautiful

She’ll live through me and live through you

I used to sing you lullabies

I’d hold you when you’d start to cry

I was your mother and your friend

Don’t you remember me from then?

I was your mother and your friend

Don’t you remember me from then?
