Fade away

Ecstasies that might have been

But i knew her not

Or knew her no longer

A tale that should have been told

Has withered in the bud

At the conclusion of a daydream.

All has faded away

As hues so intimately blended

All has faded away

As hues so intimately blended

We lost ourselves

In the flames of a candle

We lost ourselves

In the embers of a soft fire.

Ways were parted

As darkness invaded daylight.

One last taste of her purple wine lips.

A man must laugh or die

And not yield to gloomy sorrow.

At variance with truth,

I cast my will adrift

And pray, and pray and pray

To find a way, to find a way

Back to the honeydew and you.

Strawberry fields vanish

In hues so intimately blended.

All fades away

All fades away

All fades away.
