瑞典流行搖滾雙人組[羅克賽特]──美國榜亞軍──抒情搖滾佳作──[Fading Like A Flower(Everytime You Leave Me)/凋零如花(每當你離開我)]
Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
Roxette
Words & Music: Per Gessle
In a time where the sun descends alone,
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made out of stone.
I will try,
I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind,
To see the world through different eyes
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower
Tell me why?
When I scream there's no reply,
When I reach out there's nothing to find,
When I sleep I break down and cry
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower
Fading like a rose,
Fading like a rose,
Beaten by the storm,
Talking to myself,
Getting washed by the rain,
It's such a cold cold town.
