[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
