Nicky Wire Everything Fades Lyrics

Everything fades
Nothing stays
Tied to a place
We don't belong

Everything fades
It may be delayed
Frozen not dead
But grey and decayed

Need a stranger to show me the truth
Need somebody to help me through

Everything fades
It's no bad thing
Trusting aside
To what do we cling

Need a stranger to show me the truth
Need somebody to help me through
In our decline we've ebbed and we've flowed
Nothing gained and nothing to show

Everything fades O glorious day
However we try
You can't hold back time

Failure can
Be good for your soul
It tests your desires
And leaves you alone

Need someone something somehow
Serves to remember you as you are
Need to shelter you from the storm
Need a place that I can call home

Like a prayer I can hear you calling
Like a prayer I can hear you calling
Like a prayer I can hear you calling out for me
Like a prayer I can hear you calling
