When We Fade Away

If you try to catch me
You'll be the first to lose
Freedom can be lonely
Loneliness makes me think
Still I'm rather on my own
Than 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 grey

Not even you can bring
Life back from dead twice
My eyes are tired of trying
To stay dry on rainy days
I can't read your mind
Even less can you read mine
Can you read mine?
Can you read mine?

Freckles on the lips
Seemed 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 struck me down, now I do know why
My lips are marked with freckles all over
My lips are marked with freckles all over
All over
