the sun fades the color of everything

we lie here and we lie here

awaiting the return

of the passion that has left us

with the patience we've learned

sinking in the ashes

of the red night's final swing

the sun fades the color of everything

we lie here and we lie here

without much to say

in our silent sanctuary

we call it a day

seasons change quietly

winter whispers spring

the sun fades the color of everything

me and you

we wait it out

it might be 'round the bend

every time we think it's gone

it comes back again

we hold on to each other

but to our faith we cling

the sun fades the color of everything

we lie here and we lie here

waiting for a sign

you follow yours

and i follow mine

sleeping with our backs turned

floating off on polished wings

the sun fades the color of everything

me and you

we wait it out

it might be 'round the bend

every time we think it's gone

it comes back again

we hold on to each other

but to our faith we cling
