lyrics

Fading is wise
In a passage of time
Do you crumble naked
Control all your feelings?

I wanted to call
But the door wouldn’t open
It turned to a window
And smashed on a turnstile

Into L.A.
Out of your mind
Find the last thought
Make it count
Rise with your eyes closed
Cover the sign
Obscure all the details
Disappear in an instant
Saw your name etched
On a book you inscribed
You wrote deep you wrote long
But they don’t read and they don’t care

I know my love
Do you lie
It’s about repose

Mordecai Richler appears in a dream
Talks about that time I stopped him on the street
His autograph written right there on his spine
He’s stuck now in heaven with his mom at his side

Beauteous
On the right hand
In the wayward alright

Oh and fine by degrees
Beauty lasts
Fading
