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
Oooh, she fades away
She fades away
Again
Don't go now, please stay

(Please stay, 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
Oooh, 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
