The haunting distance of the past

The closing in of final days

Fear uncertain life beyond

As woven colours fade to grey



A faded tapestry of memories

Hangs within a lonely mind

Washed to grey by painful tears

Tarnished by the empty years



The haunting distance of the past

The closing in of final days

Fear uncertain life beyond

As woven colours fade to grey



Now can someone as they die

Find hope from words taught as a child

Where once these thoughts of tainted past

Wrought sadness never meant to last



The haunting distance of the past

The closing in of final days

Fear uncertain life beyond

As woven colours fade to grey



And now can someone as they die

Find hope from words taught as a child

Where once these thoughts of tainted past

Wrought sadness never meant to last



Human fragile reaching high

At last the truth elusive found

For this weak body death is nigh

Yet souls believing never die



The haunting distance of the past

The closing in of final days

Fear uncertain life beyond

As woven colours fade to grey
