We've been sleeping in the garden

Breath of summer, breath of gold

As we turn against the sweep of hills

The sky's aglow

We fade away

We fade away



She burns away in light and silver

Luminous through all these years

Every gesture filled with longings

I still feel

We fade away

We fade away

We fade away

We fade away



I see you standing in the long light

Dress discarded, windows glow

All across the wild horizons

The sunset goes

We fade away

We fade away

We fade away

We fade away
