She calls me from the cold Just when I was low, feeling short of stable And all that she intends And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label She says she's ashamed And can she take me for awhile? Can I be a friend, we'll forget the past Maybe I'm not able And I break at the bend We're here and now, but will we ever be again 'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper Lavender and cream Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her She says that love is for fools who fall behind And I'm somewhere in between I never really know A killer from a savior 'Til I break at the bend We're here and now, but will we ever be again 'Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away Guess I'll let it go
