Mary decided to stay
Shaun will be coming Tuesday
Weekends are wasted by waiting alone
Wishing for someone to say
Shaun will be coming some day
Bottles are empty and silence grew long

Fading light
Fading light thru' the summer
Fading light 'till the break of day
Could they take care of each other?
And it's sad
Now that the dream has been shattered anyway

Sleep is so crowded it's tough

Boxing her shadows she laughs
Soaking in sweat like a night boat she'll sail
Into the sea when it's rough
Intimacy it's a bluff
End of the summer and she moved away

Fading light
Fading light thru' the summer
Fading light 'till the break of day
Could they take care of each other?
And it's sad
Now that her dream has been shattered anyway
