When We Fade Away

If you try to catch me

You'll be the first to lose

Freedom can be lonely

Loneliness makes me think

Still I'm rather on my own

Than put into a cage

So if you try to catch me

I'm already far away

I'm far away, I'm far away

I am a dream you cannot catch

I am your dream I can never be

We fade away when ladybirds get pale

We fade away when ladybirds turn grey

Not even you can bring

Life back from dead twice

My eyes are tired of trying

To stay dry on rainy days

I can't read your mind

Even less can you read mine

Can you read mine?

Can you read mine?

Freckles on the lips

Seemed too much to resist

Wondering why they were stuck on my mind

I rubbed and scraped day after day

Just to get them away

It struck me down, now I do know why

My lips are marked with freckles all over

My lips are marked with freckles all over

All over
