Fall Away

Hello old friend I haven't been home in a while I'm all screwed up But having you here makes me smile I saw an old photo from when we were kings We were dressed up like Teddy boys, dancing on strings Playing at grown-ups, learning to sing And I reached out to pick up the past But it rushed through my fingers so fast But in my thoughts you come back again Bathed in light forever, my friend I walk right up to hold you but then fall away, away, away 'Cause what could I say to the face in the dark Would I speak of the nightmare that will soon come to pass Or leave him forever to dance in the past A memory to keep in a box And pray that it never gets lost But in my thoughts you come back again Bathed in light forever, my friend I walk right up to hold you but then fall away, away, away
