Slow Life To Fade

from Modern Ruins by Tim Bowness / Peter Chilvers

/

lyrics

cold night, no stars:
old men sit in old men’s bars.

hunched head, low cries,
you raise your hand to shield your eyes.

you take the long walk home alone,
watch the tv, getting stoned.

your friends moved on, your parents gone,
your crowded world reduced to one.

slow life remains -
hairline cracks and bathroom stains.

old dreams, new strains -
silent obstacles to change.

the gifted child, the favourite son -
lost before the race was run.

put on a front and pass the time,
it’s getting darker all the time.

slow life.

to fade.
