SLOW TO FADE
If, in time to come, the fates decide
What I thought was destiny
Was just the making of a mortal mind
Darling, send a word to me
And with all good grace - I'll turn my face
Into the shadow's blue
And ask the gods - all the stars above
To shine down their light on you
If only all we were was flesh and blood
Without the soul there seems to be
Maybe I could make of you someone
Who wasn't all you are to me
But like turning tides - and the hands of time
It's so far from beyond my reach
From beyond my will - 'Cos I want you still
Tell me true love you do still want me?
A passion colored brightly is slow to fade
Waves of longing to recede
Wasn't our desire of magic made?
Our eyes would meet, in silence speak
The words that can't be passed between
Forgive me if there's not enough
Strength in these I send to you
Trying to teach a heart what not to love
Is the hardest thing to do
I've no defense from the violence
Of hope still fighting not to die
Oh the mended seams of careworn dreams
Frayed on a long goodbye
The flame alive inside me is slow to fade
Its little brightness to concede
The hand of kindness has no card to play
If it's true, oh that you don't want me

SLOW TO FADE
If, in time to come, the fates decide

And with all good grace - I'll turn my face

And ask the gods - all the stars above
To shine down their light on you
If only all we were was flesh and blood
