The Fade to Black

I remember your heart when we were apart
As a distant bright shining light
I have to confess that I was a mess
Picking up pieces that couldn't go right

There was some nights out in the city
It was so dark I couldn't see my own hands
There were some nights you'll never hear about
They slip away as time expands

But you called me back from the fade to black
I never heard a better sound
You say come back, okay you can come back
Then stop, are you messing around?

I remember your face, your uncommon grace
When I gave you reasons to doubt me
The even tone and you let it be known
That you would leave with or without me

I framed a picture of you on the wall to recall
The loss that came with my choice
But I stuck to my script even on the empty stage
In the silence I heard your voice

Calling me back from the fade to black
I never heard a better sound
You say come back, oh why don't you come back
Then stop, are you messing around?

You call me back from the fade to black
I never heard a better sound
You say come back, okay you can come back
Then stop, are you messing around?

You call me back from the fade to black
I never heard a better sound
You say come back, oh why don't you come back
Then stop, are you messing round?
