She Fades Away

She's like a frostfern in my head

The lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades away

My pencil's frozen in my hand

And the letter i can't write, it seems to be a desert without end

I woke up late at night

She called me up then disappeared

And the echo of her voice filled the empty places in my dreams

With the silent tide



She fades away

Again

She fades away

She fades away again,

Don't go now, please stay



My senses are cruising through a void

As pale reflections play on the deserted road

I hear a humming of machines

A distant sound like thunder

Crawling through the cold

There's no escape, i know,

I run around in circles without end

And the more the memory grows

Dissolving from reality

With the silent tide

She fades away...

...don't make me cry



This time, i've got to learn

I know, she won't return
