Those Dancing Days - When We Fade Away

If you try to catch me you'll be the first to know
Freedom can be lonely, loneliness makes me think
Still I'm riding on my own, been put into a cage
So if you try to catch me, I'm already far away
I'm far away, I'm far away

I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream, I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybirds turn gray

Not even you can bring life back from death's wife
My eyes are tired of trying to stay dry on rainy days
I can't read your mind even lips, can you read mine?
Can you read mine? Can you read mine?

I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream, I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybirds turn gray

Freckles on the lips seem too much to resist
Wondering why they were stuck on my mind
I rubbed and scraped day after day just to get them away

It Incomprehensible me down, now I don't know why
My lips are marked with freckles all over
My lips are marked with freckles all over, all over

I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream, I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get paid
We fade away when ladybirds turn away

I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream, I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybird turn gray
