Lyrics

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
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now, please stay

My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on the deserted road
I hear a 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..
...Don't make me cry

This time, I've got to learn
I know, she won't return

Gold/1985
