[Intro]
(Clean acoustic guitar)
(8 bars)
[Verse 1]
Morning settles on the lake
Like a veil of silver rain
I can see the distant shoreline
Through a window streaked with grey
Every whisper of the water
Carries fragments of your name
Like a memory returning
Only to dissolve again
[Instrumental]
(Clean guitar melody)
(8 bars)
[Verse 2]
The years drift slowly through me
Like the river through the trees
Gathering forgotten shadows
On a cold and restless breeze
Every word we left unspoken
Still remains beneath the tide
Moving softly through the silence
Where the darker secrets hide
[Refrain]
Fade…
A little slower
Fade…
Into the morning light
Fade…
A little slower
Fade…
Out of sight
[Guitar Solo]
(16 bars)
[Verse 3]
Clouds are gathering above me
As the daylight slips away
And the fields beyond the valley
Disappear into the grey
If I listen to the distance
I can almost hear your voice
Like an echo in the twilight
Fading long before the noise
[Refrain]
Fade…
A little slower
Fade…
Into the morning light
Fade…
A little slower
Fade…
Out of sight
[Extended Instrumental]
(Guitar solo develops)
(24 bars)
[Outro]
Morning settles on the lake
Like a veil of silver rain
And the water keeps on flowing
Though nothing stays the same
Fade…
Into the grey
Fade…
Fade…
(Fade out)
