Alphaville - She Fades Away Lyrics

She's like a frost fern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes
And then she fades away

My pencil's frozen in my hand
And the letter I can't write
It seems to be a desert without end

I woke up late at night
She called me up
Then disappeared

And the echo of her voice
Filled the empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide

She fades away again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now, please stay

My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on
The deserted roads

I hear the humming of machines
A distant sound like thunder
Crawling through the cold

There's no escape I know
I run around in circles
Without end

And the more the memory grows
Dissolving from reality
With the silent tide

She fades away again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now, please stay

Don't make me cry

This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return

This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return

Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

This time
I know, she won't return
This time

Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
