Flicker and Fade Songtext
von Steven Fiore

All former lovers hear the words I sing
This one′s a keeper she's a diamond ring
She makes me laugh, but she can make me scream
She′s got a little bit of everything
You've got a little bit of everything

I hope you believe me let me tell you why
I wanna have you til' there′s no more time
You shine like the trees in the autumn light
You talk like whiskey but you taste like wine
You talk like whiskey but you taste like wine

I know now that every other chance I′ve had
Was only just another mistake
I just laid down, took what I was given
Then regretted every step of the way
When I'm between your eyes, I see the heavens′ lights
Flicker and fade


Cut the lights, turn the sound down low
Pull me closer and move real slow
And in the morning when you're still like stone
Sleep in lady, please rest your bones
Sleep in lady, please rest your bones

I know now that every other chance I′ve had
Was only just another mistake
I was laid out, swhen I was driven
Then regretted every step of the way
When I'm between your eyes, I see the heavens′ lights
Flicker and fade

Now the time has come
To feel the wrath of a strong, sound love
May I plead with your heart
To go easy on my lungs
I was breathless once
Held down, then tamed and stung
But it made me now
The man that I've become
And I'm better off
