lyrics

(Spoken)
If I could take out my heart
And mold it into a being
Somebody perfect for me
It would be you

(Sung)
Faded
Phrases

(Spoken)
These nights spent with you shall never fade...

(Sung)
My instruments of vision embrace your frame
Speaking clearer than my hesitant tongue
Of the fire that ignites within this setting
Underneath this gracious sun
Faded
You'll never be to me
Your love is all I need

When our bodies intertwine for a meeting of souls
Hidden love notes cascade from your eyes
Now the odyssey to a forgotten bliss is achieved
While the candle wax kisses the flame

Faded
Your love runs through my veins
My heart screams your name

Time has never seemed more irrelevant
Than when love cast its first charms
Your hands cut through time
While your kiss melted the hours
I finally seem to be complete in your arms
And when we part every night I fall to pieces

Faded
You'll never be to me
Faded
Your love is all I need
Faded phrases
We'll endlessly drift among the clouds
Bathe in a pool of stars
And since, and since love is the way
Heaven's the only way down
Down

Faded phrases
These will never be
Your love will never leave

(Spoken)
Your vision now fades as you're getting tired
But before you close those eyes at night you see...

Faded
