Fade Away Words and music by Joe FicklinWe move upon the earth, in shadows silent stalking Am Am Am Am Half remembered long-agos when between worlds where we’ve been walkingG G Am Am In dreaming landscapes passing, pausing and observing Am Am Am C Searching answers endlessly, unknowing, but not undeserving G G Am/C/G/Am See patterns in the air, in rhythmic cadence moving Insubstantial flesh and bone cannot contain the weight reproving Eternity in moments, frozen in forever Forty billion tons of ice, glacial pace, I love you ever Chorus As ever when I hear your name, like a cobweb in the flame F F C C I feel my world grown thin, to fade away G G Am Am And if it God would please, send my spirit on the breeze F F C C Let the mist envelope me, to fade away G G Am Am We dance on sighing stars, in shining silvered glory The universe cannot contain the golden notes that sing our story Energy imprisoned, will soon embrace the fire Brighter sun can never burn, my soul a funeral pyre Hear the echoes of the ages, white mountains living growing Geologic atmospheres, clocks compress, oceans overflowing Planets spinning in their paths, orbits in decay Time is all that we have left, hurry jump without delay As ever when I hear your name, like a cobweb in the flame F F C C I feel my world grown thin, to fade away G G Am Am And if it God would please, send my spirit on the breeze F F C C Let the mist envelope me, to fade away G G Am Am (Bridge) Every season brings a change F F F C The stars will dance and rearrange G G D D To free the frozen eyes, counting not the cost of fearing Gravitation wraps its chains of pain when all is disappearing Flinging monuments of thought, fleeing introspection If escape were possible, could we go without detection Rip tide, a current race, wild amplitude decreasing The galaxy slow revolving, entropy in sharp curves easing Eternity is calling, heartbeat takes forever When everything we knew is gone, still hope remains, I love you ever As ever when I hear your name, like a cobweb in the flame F F C C I feel my world grown thin, to fade away G G Am Am And if it God would please, send my spirit on the breeze F F C C Let the mist envelope me, to fade away G G Am Am
