she fades away lyrics

She's like a frostfern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes and then
she fades away
My pencil's frozen in my hand
And the letter I can't write
It seems to be a desert without end
I woke up late at night
She called me up
Then disappeared
And the echo of her voice filled the
empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide
She fades away
Again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now
Please, stay
My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on the
deserted roads
I hear the humming of machines
A distant sound like thunder crawling
through the void
There's no escape
I know
I run around in circles without end
And the more the memory grows
Dissolving from reality
With the silent tide
She fades away
Again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now
Please, stay
Don't make me cry
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
