[00:39.65]You are fading away in pieces and parts
[00:41.48]
[00:45.51]Like old china and glass, in fragments and shards
[00:52.38]Moment by moment, a day at a time
[00:59.88]By the side of the road, in the dark of the night
[01:03.45]
[01:04.69]You are leaving me here like the seasons will do
[01:10.45]
[01:13.01]Leaving nothing behind but I know it was you
[01:16.45]
[01:17.76]That walked where I walk now, that stood where I stand
[01:22.01]
[01:24.14]Some phantom performing a strange sleight of hand
[01:28.89]
[01:30.51]And the places I see are returning once more
[01:35.14]
[01:37.01]To the places I knew them to be long before
[01:41.57]
[01:43.89]They merged with your laugh
[01:45.58]
[01:46.57]They locked with your eyes
[01:48.76]
[01:50.20]I have almost regained them,
[01:52.70]
[01:54.20]Along with my stride
[01:55.76]
[02:03.03]You are turning to nothing like ash off a fire
[02:06.79]
[02:09.23]As it rises and floats up higher and higher
[02:13.85]
[02:16.04]As the flame slowly dies and the fire turns cold
[02:20.79]
[02:23.30]Like the color of sky the higher you go
[02:26.92]
[02:28.48]And the world that I see is returning once more
[02:33.11]
[02:34.98]To the world that I knew it be long before
[02:40.42]
[02:42.05]It had merged with your laugh
[02:43.73]
[02:45.23]It had locked with your eyes
[02:47.42]
[02:48.42]I've been letting it go, with all my goodbyes
[02:53.61]
[03:45.55]You are blurring like memory and falling like dust
[03:50.92]
[03:53.05]On old wedding bouquets, the roses and rust
[03:57.04]
[03:58.55]On the wheel, on the mantle,
[04:02.05]In the quiet of day
[04:05.30]You are vanishing slowly
[04:08.17]You are fading away
