Lyrics
Sunlight fading fast, make it last Like a flame that flickers, then its passed Moonlight fades to dawn, carry on You never know what’s real until it’s gone

Love deals the currency of loss Don’t ever forget what it costs

Hold on to me, carry me through Our story is the pain that we outgrew Yeah, you can’t call it love until you’ve lost If you love someone this is what it costs

This city cries softly tonight Like a million tear drops from a thousand eyes I’m drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne sky Wonder how it is I feel so dry inside

Love uses the pain to drill the holes That irrigate our dry and thirsty souls

Hold on to me, carry me through Our story is the pain that we outgrew Yeah, you can’t call it love until you’ve lost If you love someone this is what it costs

Sunlight fading fast, make it last
