Mary Chapin Carpenter - Fading Away
You are fading away in pieces and parts
Like old china and glass in fragments and shards
Moment by moment a day at a time
By the side of the road in the dark of the night
You are leaving me here like the seasons will do
Leaving nothing behind but I know it was you
That walked where I walk
now that stood where I stand
Some phantom performing a strange sleight of hand
And the places I see are returning once more
To the places I knew them to be long before
They merged with your laugh
They locked with your eyes
I have almost regained them
Along with my stride
You are turning to nothing like ash off a fire
As it rises and floats up higher and higher
As the flame slowly dies and the fire turns cold
Like the color of sky the higher you go
And the world that I see is returning once more
To the world that I knew it be long before
It had merged with your laugh
It had locked with your eyes
I’ve been letting it go with all my goodbyes
You are blurring like memory and falling like dust
On old wedding bouquets the roses and rust
On the wheel on the mantle
In the quiet of day
You are vanishing slowly
You are fading away
Like old china and glass in fragments and shards
Moment by moment a day at a time
By the side of the road in the dark of the night
You are leaving me here like the seasons will do
Leaving nothing behind but I know it was you
That walked where I walk
now that stood where I stand
Some phantom performing a strange sleight of hand
And the places I see are returning once more
To the places I knew them to be long before
They merged with your laugh
They locked with your eyes
I have almost regained them
Along with my stride
You are turning to nothing like ash off a fire
As it rises and floats up higher and higher
As the flame slowly dies and the fire turns cold
Like the color of sky the higher you go
And the world that I see is returning once more
To the world that I knew it be long before
It had merged with your laugh
It had locked with your eyes
I’ve been letting it go with all my goodbyes
You are blurring like memory and falling like dust
On old wedding bouquets the roses and rust
On the wheel on the mantle
In the quiet of day
You are vanishing slowly
You are fading away
You are fading away in pieces and parts
Like old china and glass in fragments and shards
Moment by moment a day at a time
By the side of the road in the dark of the night
You are leaving me here like the seasons will do
Leaving nothing behind but I know it was you
That walked where I walk
now that stood where I stand
Some phantom performing a strange sleight of hand
And the places I see are returning once more
To the places I knew them to be long before
They merged with your laugh
They locked with your eyes
I have almost regained them
Along with my stride
You are turning to nothing like ash off a fire

As the flame slowly dies and the fire turns cold
Like the color of sky the higher you go
And the world that I see is returning once more
To the world that I knew it be long before

In the quiet of day
You are vanishing slowly
You are fading away
