And Silence Fades

And silence fades

My dreams of tomorrow slip slowly away

Tears fall

And night is cold

And silence fades

And silence fades

 

 

And silence fades

Darkness hides its face

Winter is born on this black, black day

My thoughts filled with shadow sleepy and gray

And silence fades

And silence fades

 

And silences fades

When into night I stray

The gleam of the moon casting light on the bay

The stars peak between clouds on this deep dark day

And silence fades

And silence fades

 

And silence fades

Thoughts of day die away

And I open my lips to pray, to pray

But the words I cannot say

And silence fades

And silence fades

 

And silence fades

When in the dark games play

And through this bitter world I stray

My mind awhirl with these trivial ways

And silence fades

And silence fades

 

And silence fades

I close my eyes and drift away

In the world no longer to wander astray

Far from here in a new bright place

I go today

Away

Away

 

And silence fades

And silence fades
