Fade Away

She took the light
And I chose the darkness
Waiting for the storm to pass
Knowing deep inside
I'd shattered her heart of glass
Down through the doorway
Into the garden
Dancing figures in the rain,
Laughing as we felt the pleasure
Felt the pain.
And now I'm looking for a place where she can't find me
A hidden doorway where the time could fade behind me
But this place will never change
No matter what we say
We'll just fade away,
We'll just fade away...

Unlock the closet
Turn off the light
See through someone else eyes
Count a thousand tears
As you watch them cry
And now I'm looking for a place where she can't find me
A hidden doorway where the time could fade behind me
But this place will never change
No matter what we say
We'll just fade away,
We'll just fade away...

Whisper the secret
Beg for forgiveness
Drop down to your knees and pray
Look into the darkness
Dream of dancing in the rain.

Down through the doorway
Into the garden,
Dancing circles in the rain
Laughing as we felt the pleasure,
Felt the pain.
And now I'm looking for a place where she can't find me
A hidden doorway where the time could fade behind me
But this place will never change
No matter what we say
Yeah, we'll just fade away,
Yeah, we'll just fade away...
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away...
