Fade Away




STR.1:
Here comes the last dusk
of my life (time)
And I'm longing for the night
My hands are covered with the moonlight
and write this old man's last "goodbye"



About a life ~between the lines~

No-one heard ~my distressed (/desperate) prayer~





(And) I clasped my hands in vain...

CHORUS:
Passing yesterday
I only reached the way
On which tomorrow 'll come
To guide me home


This life's not worth my pride
One thought remains inside:
No-one comes to stay
Now, let me fade away




STR.2:
Just like memories fade
In time's relentless undertow
That took away all (the) reasons
for me being
And left me here alone



My bane of life - ~so take me too~

But no-one hears ~my distressed (/desperate) prayer~





(And) I clasped my hands in vain...

CHORUS:
s.o.




BRIDGE:
~You're (all) gone~



Now, that I'm holdin' my life in hands
And the will to stay's about to end



I clasp my hands as tight as I can



I close my eyes and life ~becomes a dream~





(And) I'll clasp my hands no more...

CHORUS:
s.o.
