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

Ooh, she fades away

She fades away

Again

Don't go now

Please stay

My senses cruising through a void

As pale reflections play on

The deserted road

I hear the 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

Again

Ooh, she fades away

She fades away

Again

Don't go now

Please stay

Don't make me cry

This time

I've got to learn

I know

She won't return

This time

I've got to learn

I know

She won't return

This time I've gotta learn

I know she won't return

This time I've gotta learn

I know she won't return

This time I've gotta learn

I know she won't return

This time, this time

Don't make me cry

Don't make me cry

Don't make me cry

Don't make me cry

This time I've gotta learn

I know she won't return

This time, don't make me, don't make me, don't make me
