lyrics

The prairie moon is almost spent
I told my Ma you just act like I never went
And you’ll see
Nothing’s ever gonna change
My love seduced by city lights
The giddy swirl and the flash of a million lives
To be
I lost my girl to New Orleans

As I walk
I fade away
As I walk
I fade away

I sent her my box of memories
And headed down to Mexico to find me a wife
That sings
Them dark haired girls always sing
But brilliant dreams are fickle things
The promised land a vision flickering in the desert heat
It flees
Death the only certainty

As I walk
I fade away
As I walk
I fade away

And my skin shrinks and turns to rust
My skin shrinks and turns to rust
The stars are flakes of molten dust

As I fade away
I turn to earth
And earth gives birth to molten steel
Cities arise
The shadows are lit
Man is made to think and feel
Like my kin
Before me
I have laughed and cried and screamed
If darkness comes
To take me in
I’ll be stronger than I dreamed
I am stronger than I dreamed
I am stronger than I dreamed
