Wither Lyrics

Time is all you had and it’s fading
Mourning for the loss of memory
And do you recognise me when you're dreaming?
Close your eyes and see me
For mine are reddened and streaming
For the time that's flown

Hold my hand and feel the moments we stood
By each other, silent, side by side
And we laughed and swore we'd never forget these
Memories we were sharing
As I'm watching you wither,
Now I know they're gone

Why don't you remember my face?
Why don't you remember all our years together
When you held me near?

As you're drifting onwards to the sunset,
I don't want to have to watch you die
And I say goodbye to you
As you lay there, knowing now that
I was fading out of your mind's eye,
I died long ago
