Fade Away

I’m fading away. Like a tired song, wearing thin on the air waves, overplayed in the bar seine, and I am tired out. I had to walk out, it was time to move on and not to fade away. Never been; Never found, the connection to that counterpart. Still, it is fun to hang out with this crowd and not care for a while. The sun is sinking And it’s cold at night I sit here thinking Wondering who might Color my fading heart. The horizon is peaking And I never took that flight I sit here drinking Wondering who might Be that counterpart. I’m Dreaming; Like the mind of the child Who is at home traveling Venturing the great sea, riled To fight pirates in the pond. Never seen Never found That captain To sail my aimless heart. Yet, I’m having fun To hang out In this seine And not worry for a while. Never had Never loved That aimless heart To find my soul-mate And make that start. The sun is sinking And it’s cold at night I lie here thinking Or wondering who might Color my fading heart. The horizon is peaking And I never took that flight I sit here drinking Questioning who might Be that counterpart. Fading as a sunless sea…
