lyrics

Memories inside my head
Coloured in with frozen blue and burning red
Crystal clear or faded scenes
Wide awake or slipping in and out of dreams

Long gone in a winter haze
Slowly to fade away

Every time I dream I’ve found it
Try to close my arms around it
Feel it slip away for ever
Long to draw it back together
All the times that I remember
Calling through the days
Fadeaway

Faces that I used to know
Places that I used to go have disappeared
Voices from the distant past
Echo down the years to haunt me here at last

Far, far from a life that’s gone for ever
Feel all of it fade away

Every time I dream I’ve found it
Try to close my arms around it
Feel it slip away for ever
Long to draw it back together
All the times that I remember
Calling through the days

And every now and then I try
To recreate those distant years
When every moment seemed a lifetime
Now it’s long forgotten
Here in a changing world
I lie beside this winding river
Why should I ever wake again?

Every time I dream I’ve found it
Try to close my arms around it
Feel it slip away for ever
Long to draw it back together

Everything is part of me and
All of me is part of all of this
Every sound and every colour
All the pain and all the pleasure
Even dreams that I remembered only yesterday
Fadeaway
