I walked you home so we could share a cigarette
And I watched as you exhaled, could taste your lipstick on the tip
The streetlight flickered orange in the glow of amber fire
The sight of you was burned into my eyes
In cloudy mornings when the sky was drawn in ink
From the space upon the floor, beside the bed where you would sing
The melody would rise and fall like rain around again
The sound of it's still stuck inside my head
The sound of it's still stuck inside my head
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
From the hall I saw your fleeting silhouette
When I followed to the top, could smell your perfume on the stairs
In the way that you would lean in close, but just to disappoint
When she spoke it was with someone else's voice
When she spoke it was in someone else's voice
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
When you dream is it close enough?
And when you sing is my name on the tip of your tongue?
When you wake does it go to waste?
With the ink and the smoke and the wish that you stayed
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
It's all faded glory now
