Don't Fade Away - Dead Can Dance

don’t fade away my brown eyed girl

come walk with me i’ll fill your heart with joy

and we’ll dance through our isolation

seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow

turning thoughts to the here and ever after

consuming fears in our fiery halos

say what you mean mean what you say

i’ve heard that innocence has led us all astray

but don’t let them make you and break you

the world is filled with their broken empty dreams

silence is their only virtue

locked away inside their silent screams

but for now let us dance away this starry night

filled with the glow of fiery stars

and with the dawn our sun will rise

bringing a symphony of bird cries

don’t bring me down now let me stay here for a while

you know life’s too short let me bathe here in your smile

i’m transcending the fall from the garden

goodnight
