Everything Fades - Nicky Wire

Everything fades

Nothing stays

Tied to a place

We don’t belong

Everything fades

It may be delayed

Frozen not dead

But gray and decayed

Need a stranger to show me the the truth

Need somebody to help me through

Everything fades

It’s no bad thing

Trusting aside

To what can we cling

Need a stranger to show me the the truth

Need somebody to help me through

In our decline we’ve ebbed and we’ve flowed

Nothing gained and nothing to show

Everything fades

Oh, glorious day

However we try

You can’t hold back time

Failure can

Be good for your soul

It tests your desires

And leaves you alone

Need someone something somehow

Serves to remember you as you are

Need too shelter you from the storm

Need a place that I can call home

Like a prayer, I can hear you calling

Like a prayer, I can hear, hear you calling

Like a prayer, I can hear you calling out for me

Like a prayer, I can hear you calling
