Fade-In -

I look at pictures of tiny islands

All across the sea

In an album full of pretty things

That seems to comfort me Images of golden dreams

Wonderful things to see

And you’re so faded

you’re so faded

you’re so faded

A photograph of another

My words don’t refrain

Coloured cities lost in twilight

Night makes its way

Plastic-moulded furniture

In a holiday array

And you’re so faded

you’re so faded

you’re so faded

I can’t feel you anymore

Put me down again

Fade-in life

Fleeting at the speed of sound

And you’re so faded

You’re so faded

You’re so faded

And we look just the same…
