Oh darling of mine
Where have you been?
It’s been so long since I’ve seen you last
You came back to say but never deny
I came back to say that last goodbye
You fooled me not just once before
And I won’t be falling for a single more
And I did
You wrote me off like a stupid boy
And I won't be played like another toy
And I did
And I did
The days are getting cold and lonely
The river’s freezing and the serpent’s calling
The creeping chill of a cave it darkens
The time is marked and a season harkens
You came back to say but never deny
I came back to say that last goodbye
I left that empty corner store
For a place I’d never been before
And I did
A place so very far away
So very far away from you
From you
Get left on the back end
We can talk but we won’t stop
Until we said
Fools find love for regrets
Like ghosts playing fools in a castle
We sing and we dance and we play
One by one we just all fade away
But my queen, she stays
Like souls keeping count of the tolling
We wish for the comfort of friends
One by one we just all fade away
But my queen, she remains
We all fade away
We all fade away
We all fade away
My queen she has no use for no one
Like low, we were nothing at all
Day by day we would just fade away
And my queen, she stays
Like dark she was gone in the morning
Made her loves want the lightest embrace
Day by day we just all fade away
But our queen, she remains
We all fade away
We all fade away
We all fade away
Getting lost in my own castle
I don’t what to do
I don’t what to do
We all fade away
We all fade away
We all fade away
