Remembrance Day

The night time claims the day
Shadows grow long where I live
I watched the sunlight dance off my water's leaves
Fall down in vain
I had you on my mind
I think I see you sometimes
I smile when I think of that Betsy dress
And that night when we were a mess

So fade
Fade, fade away
I'm gonna watch you fade away
Into remembrance day

I saw you standing there
Unraveling in the autumn air
You're gonna ask if I'm dating again
and I'll ask if you write much these days
And you still laugh the same
and we still laugh without shame
but in between words, the silence ensues
and I know, I'm losing you

So fade
Fade, fade away
I'm gonna watch you fade away
Into remembrance day

If this is the last time we'll meet
And it's strange how I'll never see
Your life's familiar mystery that once unfolded for me

So fade
Fade, fade away
I'm gonna watch you fade away
Into remembrance day
Into remembrance day
Into remembrance day
