Fading Time

Verse 1] I walk through shadows of a photograph, The corners curl, the colors fade to white. I used to know the warmth, the laugh, Now only whispers haunt the night. [Chorus] All the faces drift away, Like smoke that hides the morning sky. I try to hold what’s left of you, But it slips through — fading time. [Verse 2] There’s a song behind the windowpane, A note I can’t remember now. Your eyes once spoke in silver rain, But memory forgets the vow. [Chorus] All the faces drift away, Like smoke that hides the morning sky. I try to hold what’s left of you, But it slips through — fading time. [Bridge] And maybe the dream was only air, Maybe it lived inside your sighs. Now I chase your ghost through broken prayers, Through the cracks of my own mind. [Outro] And if I wake, will you still shine, Through all the tears and static lines? Or will you fade once more again, Into the dark — of fading time?
