Poured all I had onto you
All the sorrow and the doubt
Like rain that never stopped
Fed you to the lions too many times
Their teeth dulled to the gums
Fading love; couldn't blame you
All the waves retreat from the shore
Revealing the dead sea floor
Fading love; the cost that was due
Saw empathy turn to resentment
Like diamonds back to coal.
Stepping back to a safe distance
Wiping the frost from your shoulder
Finally to bask in the radiant light
Fading love; couldn't blame you
All the waves retreat from the shore
Revealing the dead sea floor
Fading love; the cost that was due
Anchors lifted from the sea
Wings catching the saving wind
Clouds soothe enduring wounds
Out of reach of my embrace
As it should for the sake of you
Fading love; couldn't blame you
All the waves retreat from the shore
Revealing the dead sea floor
Fading love; the cost that was due
Couldn't blame you
As this was the cost that was due
Fading love; like forgetting a lovely dream
Forgetting a lovely dream
A lovely dream
