Fades (Pass the Distance) Lyrics
Hidden by night, hold up your dreams
And be free, take flight
No one may watch you
In dreams, don't be frightened
Of what you may see
The play has begun
And the scenes there unveiled
Like the song to be sung
And the postcard that's mailed
You'll complete all the things
You'd like to have done
And you'll heal all the wounds
With the cobwebs unspun
Oh, see the blade glisten in the arm of a sling
Propped up by a scandal that maintains the sting
Keep the flat of the blade in the palm of your hand
And don't let this song get beyond your command
My love in my dreams and my life are the same
But in dreams I am sane
And in life nothing's gained
'Til the virgin white citizens raise their ugly head
Then you wonder whether it's a dream
Or whether you're dead
And you fade
---
Won't you pass the distance to come?
Oh, won't you pass the distance to come?
And be free, take flight
No one may watch you
In dreams, don't be frightened
Of what you may see
And the scenes there unveiled
Like the song to be sung
And the postcard that's mailed
You'd like to have done
And you'll heal all the wounds
With the cobwebs unspun
Propped up by a scandal that maintains the sting
And don't let this song get beyond your command
But in dreams I am sane
And in life nothing's gained
'Til the virgin white citizens raise their ugly head
Then you wonder whether it's a dream
Or whether you're dead
And you fade
Oh, won't you pass the distance to come?
