Fading

Lately I notice my crowd's getting thin
my visits are no use  they're fading,

Ev'rytime I come to their door their eyes
have closed just that bit more. they're on
their last walk 'round the sun, they're going fast,
I can't run.

I'm staying behind all out of sight, left with
my colours old and grey, days are long now
and very pale

Waiting takes a long time they say
