There, in the silence of the night / I see you shine

Drifting down to me, drift down to me. / Is this how it's supposed to be?

Will you stay, will you go? / Again, this time, how far?
Em D/F# Em G ( Gmaj7 )
Then you take, and you're gone. / No longer need to wait here anymore

Fly, far away / I won't regret at all

Not asking you to stay / I can't make you understand

As I close my empty hand

And as time changes / Your light fades into the gray.
