There was something in a desert There was someplace wild and green And a child in a village I passed through There are places I have travelled And so many things I've seen And it all fades away but you I was sliding down a mountain I was burning in the sun I was crying with amazement at the view I was capturing a moment But when all is said and done, Well it all fades away but you It all fades away It all fades away It all fades away but you I have sailed across the oceans, Passed the cities and the farms On a never-ending quest for something new And the only thing that mattered Was the four days in your arms And it all fades away but you It all fades away It all fades away It all fades away but you There is one thing that's eternal That cannot be torn apart There is one thing that remains forever true Past the thinking, past the breathing Past the beating of my heart It will all fade away but you It all fades away It all fades away It all fades away but you It all fades away It all fades away It all fades away but you But you But you But you
