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…
