[Intro] [soft guitar skank, one-drop drum fades in, Harmonica wail] Mmm, heart’s heavy, shadows fallin’ low, Love slipped away, didn’t even know. City hums a tune, lonely as can be, Gonna sing my pain, set my spirit free. [Verse 1] Walkin’ down the street where we used to roam, Empty now, just echoes of a home. I was chasin’ dreams, runnin’ wild and blind, Didn’t see her fade, left her love behind. Streetlamp’s glow paints a lonesome scene, My guitar’s moanin’ where her smile’s been. Lost her in the rush, like a river’s flow, Now my heart’s cryin’, got nowhere to go. [Chorus] Faded love skank, she’s gone from my side, Slipped through my fingers on this lonesome ride. Blues in my soul, but I’m holdin’ on tight, Singin’ to the stars till I make it right. (Ooh-oh, till I make it right) [vocals, organ swells] Faded love skank, her shadow’s still near, Reggae keeps me movin’ through the hurt and fear. [Verse 2] Her laughter used to dance in the summer air, Now the wind’s cold, and she ain’t there. I was too busy, caught in life’s cruel game, Didn’t hold her close, now I’m callin’ her name. Old bar’s quiet, where we’d share a song, The heart ache wails, feelin’ all gone wrong. Love was a flame, I let it burn low, But my heart’s still beatin’, got a spark to grow. [Chorus] Faded love skank, she’s gone from my side, Slipped through my fingers on this lonesome ride. Blues in my soul, but I’m holdin’ on tight, Singin’ to the stars till I make it right. (Ooh-oh, till I make it right) [guitar bends, backing vocals rise] Faded love skank, her shadow’s still near, Reggae keeps me movin’ through the hurt and fear. [Bridge] [Harmonica solo, congas pulse, guitar skank softens] Stop the world now, let the silence breathe, Feel her ghost in the ache beneath. Every miss’s a lesson, every tear’s a call, Gonna find my way, rise above it all. [Drums kick in, guitar wails] Yeah, I’m singin’ loud, let my heart unfold! [Chorus] Faded love skank, she’s gone from my side, Slipped through my fingers on this lonesome ride. Blues in my soul, but I’m holdin’ on tight, [Fade to End]
