Fading Away Lyrics - Ashes & Roses - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 

Photos 

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
