Fading Before Me

Green earth is expanding beneath my feet
Soft blue sky is opening up around me
New roads are being paved with old dreams

This restless soul is ready to chase the sun
Where hands can reach up and touch the blue sky
Oh mercy mercy me I'm gonna take off my wings and fly

Oh love old ties are fraying old bones are breaking
Everything between us is fading before me
Do you miss me sometimes I miss you
Especially when the moon is waxing new

Fading fading fading I'm fading away
Fading away into darkness
The only place where there is light
The only place where I see truth

And as everything fades away before me
My hands no longer hold onto the past
My eyes no longer see visions of you
My ears no longer hear what's not true

Even though some dreams died along with you
My hands still keep reaching for a sky that is blue
Inside a faceless ghost town with no name

And with just enough faith my soul remains
Even when the road runs out I'll still keep walking
As you slowly fade away under the pale moon

Oh love as my hands reach away from you
Our past fades away into darkness
The tunnel before me opens up into light
New branches are growing out of old trees

Fading fading fading I'm fading away
Fading away into darkness
The only place where there is light
The only place where I see truth

And as everything fades away before me
My hands no longer hold onto the past
My eyes no longer see visions of you
My ears no longer hear what's not true

Yeah I'm gonna walk where stones roll uphill
Under an endless sky that is fading to blue
Across endless dreams with unsewn seams

'Cause everyone I have loved has turned to dust
Just tactile memories blowing in winds of change
Nothing but faded ghosts live and remain

Oh love with an act of kneeling and a sense of feeling
Everything will be alright on my final night
Before I move on from everything that's lost and gone
And wherever I fall next fate only knows

Fading fading fading I'm fading away
Fading away into darkness
The only place where there is light
The only place where I see truth

And as everything fades away before me
My hands no longer hold onto the past
My eyes no longer see visions of you
My ears no longer hear what's not true
