She Fades Away

(album: The Breathtaking Blue - 1989)

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

[CHORUS]
She fades away
Again
Oo, 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

[CHORUS]

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 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 got to learn
I know she won't return
This time I've got to learn
I know she won't return
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
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
Don't make me, don't make me cry
