She's like a frost fern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes
And then she fades away
My pencil's frozen in my hand
And the letter I can't write
It seems to be a desert without end
I woke up late at night
She called me up
Then disappeared
And the echo of her voice
Filled the empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide
She fades away again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now, please stay
My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on
The deserted roads
I hear the humming of machines
A distant sound like thunder
Crawling through the cold
There's no escape I know
I run around in circles
Without end
And the more the memory grows
Dissolving from reality
With the silent tide
She fades away again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now, please stay
Don't make me cry
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
This time
I know, she won't return
This time
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
