Fade Away

Slowly but surely I am fading,
Part of me has already gone away.
I know I won’t be here much longer.
But if I had one wish I’d wish to stay.

This is not death, I am not dying
I have been released, my soul is flying.
Flying far into the night, flying far away,
But you know that if I had one wish, I would wish to stay.

Fading away like a colour
Which has been left out in the sun.
Fading back to what I was before,
Where it all begun.

Just a shadow of what I once was,
Not at all what I want to be.
As I fade with light, into the night
And return with a clear picture of me.
