Lyrics
(verse 1)
Oh babe,look into my eyes this time(just this time)
I know that this love has tied you
and that was never right
(bridge)
Ties, we fight
bring tears to our burning eyes
lies we light
walk in the glare of our fire.
(verse 2)
Oh babe, raise your eyes just one more time
the black clouds in our lives can only bring rain
to wash away the stains
wrap your arms around me here and now
it's not the time to fight
(bridge)
sighs mark time
each breath is a falling sign
tried, these lines
are tested and etched into my life
(chorus)
We are the fading light
(verse 3)
Watch the children playing
Life had passed you by
lovers kiss and smile
life can seem so kind
nothing's real just faded
shadows even jaded
long and leaning
crushed by its own nature
it dies
we are the fading light
