It's getting late
It all just wanes and pales and fades away
If we just want it too much

And what a shame
If all there is is all that's gone away
There's nothing left here for us


Deadlight holiday
Killing time to make us stay

Hollow as the promises of yesterday

On and on the music plays

Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window like the morning rain


It's all the same
So many words remaining
Always too late

It never seems worth taking
And all the days
And all the nights lost sleeping

And in the end
The secret's not worth keeping


Deadlight holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday


On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase

Falling past my window like the morning rain
