Fading Portrait

(mmmm-hmmm) Leaves are falling on the pavement wet with rain

I can hear the quiet whisper of your name

But the spaces in between are hard to fill

And I tried to find the words to make you stay

As the golden hour slowly fades to gray

Oh, we built a castle in the sand

Hoping it would stand against the tide

And I'll hold the memory in my hand

Even after everything has died (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Now the morning light is spilling through the blinds

Trace the shadows of the dreams we left behind

Still I'm listening for footsteps on the floor

Oh, we built a castle in the sand

Hoping it would stand against the tide

And I'll hold the memory in my hand

Even after everything has died

(everything has died)

Even after everything has died (mmmm)
