Fade to Black

 

Sun’s going down

Fire’s going out

We can’t keep each other warm

Huddle in close

But we both know

We won’t make it through this storm

 

It’s been blowing in

On a chilling wind

This cold dark cloud

 

Chorus:

I can see the lightening flashing

All thunder no passion

As you and I go crashing

Against the night

We’re off into the darkness

This love of ours is heartless

The truth is always harshest

In the light

Can’t stay here, can’t go back

Fade to black

 

Tears turn to rain

All kinds of pain

Pouring down, drowning us

No where to hide

No hope in sight

There’s no prayer strong enough

 

Ain’t no light of day

Coming our way

Just this cold dark cloud
