This place at the edge of the world

Where everything is ancient

And in between the mortar and the pigeon waste

Little dreams flourish and then flounder

And I want to fade... [2x]

This hunger that tugs at my belly

Concave and still screaming for peace

In between the marrow and the bone

Little loves take wing and collapse

And I want to fade... [2x]

I want to fade to the color of this London morning

Disappear into a landscape of despair

I want to fade into the vantage point long distant

Disappear in a desperate instant

But when you said "Could we kiss?"

And petals came into spread

In a heart long wilted and dead

And I want to fade... [2x]
