Don't Fade Away

Words and wishes are in my breast

 I hope I could free them before you rest,

For now, you’re gray, and too far away

But still you linger in our memory.

 

For half so much I turned my back

On staying sleepless in my dreams at night.

Do I deny the longing in my mind?

Everytime your name flows down from her mouth

 

And father, remember this well

He who was nourished by your loss and despair,

Will someday come to give you his care--

Although you left them hanging by the air.
