Dayfade

The day passed by so quietly Now it walks out on its toes Without anybody noticing Or wondering where it goes It sneaks around the corner Draws away from sight Doesn't linger to welcome in The darkening face of night The evening sun is flirting with the rooftops But they don't give a sign of life Standing tall, unwilling as ever To play and dance with the fading light Go down, fair lady Caress the grass one last time as you leave Cast a last glance before the night Comes to steal your light away Like an ordinary thief Now it's starting to get dark And dark is for night And I know night is for sleeping But I'm still on this train Rolling away from the light As the colours of the sky are deepening The evening sun is flirting with the rooftops But they don't give a sign of life Standing tall, unwilling as ever To play and dance with the fading light Go down, fair lady Caress the grass one last time as you leave Cast a last glance before the night Comes to steal your light away Like an ordinary thief Let us meet where the ocean meets the sky Where they merge into perfect unity Drift away into the realm between low and high Where their colours melt into harmony I would ask the sun to stall And illuminate your lovely face And the colours of the sky to fly And capture our common gaze But as the seasons roll on by And the sun runs out its course The coming of the night is inevitable It will come to call upon us all, so Go down, fair lady Caress the grass one last time as you leave Cast a last glance before the night Comes to steal your light away Like an ordinary thief Go down, fair lady Caress the grass one last time as you leave Cast a last glance before the night Comes to steal your light away Like an ordinary thief Like an ordinary thief Like an ordinary thief
