Fade In Fade Out ====

The image I see in the mirror
Isn't me!
It cannot be me.
Once so youthful was I!
Now, look at me!
Touching, my visage in my mirrored glass
Sparkling eyes still there;
And that smile, that drove the old boy spare
Still smiling!
But there's a touch of sadness
You can see in the eyes
Trying to get out!!
Punting on the river, so much fun
Dancing rustling through the Autumnal
Fallen leaves, kicking,
As if we're dancing in the rain
Making a game!!
Standing beneath, a starry night sky
Counting, countless stars glistening
In between, a velvety darkness...
Glancing at he and the smile, in his eyes
Like a shooting star,
Running, across my firmament
And you wish on that falling star
To be happy forever, forever happy!!
But there's nothing as such, forever happiness.
For there's always the joy and the pain,
Intermingling!
The silences, the long, long silences,
driving me spare...
The images my eyes can see,
Images, I've painted in mine mind...
As I chant beneath, the moonlit sky
Tunes of yesterdays,
yesteryear, in my childish way...
Sitting here by my table lamp, pen poised
Reflecting, where have all the years gone,
Deserting me!!
It isn't me it isn't you, it isn't the time
Fade in fade out, fade in fade out
Fade in fade out!!
