Fades Lyrics

I know I have two sisters

But I can't remember when I've last seen them all

I know I have four children

Two live close, two will call

But I

Can't look my grandkids in the eyes

And know who I'm talking to

Why is this happening so fast?

Wish I could go back

When everything else fades

And I'm left with the crickets

And the chorus of cicadas in a current haze

I wonder if I slow down

Somehow

Will I remember any more of my days?

Before everything fades

Away

The waves don't sound soothing

I'm pretty sure everything tastes the same

Is it really still Tuesday?

I hear my family

Reminiscing

Oh how

Can everything they talk about

Feel like a movie?

Did I

Really live that rich of a life?

When everything else fades

And I'm left with the crickets

And the chorus of cicadas in a current haze

I wonder if I slow down

Somehow

Will I remember any more of my days?

Before everything fades

Everything fades

Oh everything fades
