I walked you home
So we could share a cigarette
And I watched as you exhaled
Could taste your lipstick on the tip
As the streetlight flickered orange
In the glow of amber fire
And 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
As the melody would rise and fall
Like rain around again
Oh 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 it 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 in someone else's voice
And 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
And when you dream
Is it close enough
And when you sing
Is my name on the tip of your tongue
And when you wake
Does it go to waste
With the ink and the smoke
And the wish that you'd stayed
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
Faded glory now
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
It's just faded glory
Just faded glory
Just faded glory now
