Fading Away

歌詞

You are fading away in pieces and parts Like old china and glass, in fragments and shards Moment by moment, a day at a time By the side of the road, in the dark of the night You are leaving me here like the seasons will do Leaving nothing behind but I know it was you That walked where I walk now, that stood where I stand Some phantom performing a strange sleight of hand And the places I see are returning once more To the places I knew them to be long before They merged with your laugh They locked with your eyes I have almost regained them, Along with my stride You are turning to nothing like ash off a fire As it rises and floats up higher and higher As the flame slowly dies and the fire turns cold Like the color of sky the higher you go And the world that I see is returning once more To the world that I knew it be long before It had merged with your laugh It had locked with your eyes I've been letting it go, with all my goodbyes You are blurring like memory and falling like dust On old wedding bouquets, the roses and rust On the wheel, on the mantle, In the quiet of day You are vanishing slowly You are fading away
