lyrics

Fading Away (Lyrics: Josephine van Gelder)

It's been years
since he held my hand
so strong that it hurt
as if he could silence his tears
while the hollow words of the priest
felt into her grave

Slowly fading away
unaware
that the cards that life has dealt
have been played

He stands in line, waiting for his turn
Opening his wallet
He sees her picture
Where did she go, where am I?

Tomorrow you won't remember about today
for me you remain
even if there is nothing more
the photos of your memory discolor
but there is no going back
just a longing for what once was

Pieces of life disappear
time plays a cruel game
and slips through your fingers

I look at the man that fades away
Once thought he was invincible
Now fragile and conquered
How could he know

Tomorrow you won't remember about today
for me you remain
even if there is nothing more
the photos of your memory discolor
but there is no going back
just a longing for what once was

Tomorrow you won't remember about today
for me you remain
even if there is nothing more
the photos of your memory discolor
but there is no going back
just a longing for what once was

The cashier taps her fingernails
no patience
no empathy for those
losing grip of their life

I look at the man that fades away
Once thought he was invincible
Now fragile and conquered

But he didn’t know
