"All The World Fades Away" lyrics

"All The World Fades Away"

She cries at everything
Like a bird with a broken wing
I want to save her
But I know she wouldn't want me to

Just look where the world has gone
We're standing in the middle of a gathering storm
And everybody thinks that their own way is true

And as each morning comes
I wake up in our bed
She turns and smiles at me
All day long I watch her in my head

Alright it's a long cold night
And I'm just happy to stay inside
All the world fades away when I'm with you

Out in the desert in a rented car
To find some peace you've got to go this far
I was having trouble 'cause my mind just wouldn't clear

She looked out the window, said what do you think
You wouldn't even know we were on the brink
What a gift, thank you for bringing me here

And as we drove away, moonlight in our eyes
All the clouds they moved away
A thousand stars lit up all the skies

Alright it's a long cold night
And I'm just happy to stay inside
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

We lose our heads and we go too far
But that's just what lovers are
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

Right in the middle of the dullest day
She turned said baby let's run away
Who'd even miss us if we left for a year or two
So we packed our stuff shut the city down
Headed to the coast, a little fishing town
Trying to find peace, live like locals do
And as each day would come
We'd look out on the shore
And watch the icefloes run
And wonder why we ever needed
Wonder why we ever needed more

Alright it's a long cold night
And I'm just happy to stay inside
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

Lose our heads and we go too far
That's just what lovers are
All the world fades away
All the world fades away

You can't hide from everything
You just can't tell what the future'll bring
All the world fades away when I'm with you
