Noontide's cool embrace

Orchids sprout from every pool

Roadside

Sunless rays

Their purple cups fill

Swell

And cool

I vanish by degrees

It's something I've come to expect

I'll vanish by degrees

I rinse my hope in pastel tomorrows

Misty rain persists

Glows gray

Hangs over the town

Light is dim and mist

And I'm no one

No one now

I vanish by degrees

It's something I've come to expect

I'll vanish by degrees

I rinse my hope in pastel tomorrows

The voice of the rain whispers through me

"I'm no one

No one now"

I vanish by degrees

It's something I've come to expect

I'll vanish by degrees

I rinse my hope in pastel tomorrows
