I look at pictures of tiny islands
All across the sea
In an album full of pretty things
That seems to comfort me
Images of golden dreams
Wonderful things to see
And you're so faded
You're so faded
You're so faded
A photograph of another
My words don't refrain
Coloured cities lost in twilight
Night makes its way

Plastic moulded furniture
In a holiday array
And you're so faded
You're so faded
You're so faded
I can't feel you anymore
Put me down again
Fade-in life
Fleeting at the speed of sound
And you're so faded
You're so faded
You're so faded
And we look just the same
