Mary Chapin Carpenter - Fading Away |
| [00:00.81] |
|
| [00:38.37] |
You are fading away in pieces and parts |
| [00:44.81] |
Like old china and glass, in fragments and shards |
| [00:51.62] |
Moment by moment, a day at a time |
| [00:58.12] |
By the side of the road, in the dark of the night |
| [01:04.22] |
|
| [01:04.58] |
You are leaving me here like the seasons will do |
| [01:10.68] |
Leaving nothing behind but I know it was you |
| [01:16.90] |
That walked where I walk now, that stood where I stand |
| [01:23.42] |
Some phantom performing a strange sleight of hand |
| [01:29.53] |
|
| [01:30.07] |
And the places I see are returning once more |
| [01:36.41] |
To the places I knew them to be long before |
| [01:42.97] |
They merged with your laugh |
| [01:46.19] |
They locked with your eyes |
| [01:49.38] |
I have almost regained them, |
| [01:52.89] |
Along with my stride |
| [01:59.09] |
|
| [02:01.74] |
You are turning to nothing like ash off a fire |
| [02:09.04] |
As it rises and floats up higher and higher |
| [02:15.55] |
As the flame slowly dies and the fire turns cold |
| [02:21.77] |
Like the color of sky the higher you go |
| [02:27.76] |
|
| [02:28.14] |
And the world that I see is returning once more |
| [02:34.39] |
To the world that I knew it be long before |
| [02:40.23] |
It had merged with your laugh |
| [02:44.21] |
It had locked with your eyes |
| [02:47.76] |
I''ve been letting it go, with all my goodbyes |
| [02:55.21] |
|
| [03:45.33] |
You are blurring like memory and falling like dust |
| [03:51.81] |
On old wedding bouquets, the roses and rust |
| [03:57.64] |
On the wheel, on the mantle, |
| [04:01.73] |
In the quiet of day |
| [04:04.68] |
You are vanishing slowly |
| [04:07.87] |
You are fading away |
| [04:14.78] |
|
