DAYFADE
Written by Sara So Far 

 

The day passed by so quietly

Now it walks out on its toes

Without anybody noticing

Or wondering where it goes

 

It sneaks around the corner

Draws away from sight

Doesn’t linger to welcome in

The darkening face of night

 

The eveningsun is flirting with the rooftops

But they don’t give a sign of life

Standing tall, unwilling as ever

To play and dance with the fading light

 

Go down, fair lady

Carress the grass one last time as you leave

Cast a last glance before the night comes to steal your light away

Like an ordinary thief

 

Now it’s starting to get dark

And dark is for night

and I know night is for sleeping

 

But I’m still on this train

Rolling away from the light

As the colours of the sky are deepening

 

The eveningsun is flirting with the rooftops

But they don’t give a sign of life

Standing tall, unwilling as ever

To play and dance with the fading light

 

Go down, fair lady

Carress the grass one last time as you leave

Cast a last glance before the night comes to steal your light away

Like an ordinary thief

 

Let us meet where the ocean meets the sky

Where they merge into perfect unity

Drift away into the realm between low and high

Where their colours melt into harmony

 

I would ask the sun to stall and illuminate your lovely face

And the colours of the sky to fly and capture our common gaze

But as the seasons roll on by and the sun runs out its course

The coming of the night is inevitable it will come to call upon us all

 

Go down, fair lady

Carress the grass one last time as you leave

Cast a last glance before the night comes to steal your light away

Like an ordinary thief
