[Verse] Raindrops on a telephone wire Whispers in the dark of desire Shadows dance with no rhythm or rhyme Seconds passing one at a time [Verse 2] Memories like ghosts that never sleep Dreams we chase that we can't keep Footprints fading in the sand Reaching out for a lone hand [Chorus] Fade away like stars in the morning Fade away like a song that's ending Fade away when the night is falling Fade away in the silence bending [Verse 3] Broken pieces of the yesterday Moments lost like a runaway Silence screaming Nothing left to say Eyes closed We'll fade away [Bridge] Time’s a thief with an empty heart Steals the moments Tears us apart Find me where the shadows play Lost but never found We fade away [Chorus] Fade away like stars in the morning Fade away like a song that's ending Fade away when the night is falling Fade away in the silence bending
