Fade and Then Return
William Fitzsimmons
I've been locked out
For twenty years or so
What is this age on me now
If memory serves
Then I should recognize
This staring glass
My legs so frail
Like I haven't stood in years
This gait so wrong
I crawl towards you
Familiar I would swear
Though name escapes me now
Fade and then return
Fade and then return
Like baby's breath
I'm holding on to air
My lungs a thief
Should I know you
A stranger though you seem
You feel like home
Fade and then return
Fade and then return
Fade and then return
Fade and then return
What covers over you
