Faded Afternoon

Couldn't we stay a little longer?
I love the light when it sweeps your face
Couldn't we drive back in an hour?
No one will notice if we're late

When you're gone
It's a dark, faded afternoon
When you're gone
It's a harsh, jaded kind of blues
When you're gone
It's a hard, crazy kind of truth
Without you

Couldn't we say all these dumb things?
The same talk we've had since '92
Couldn't you tell me what you're thinking?
I love the way you look when you move

When you're gone
It's a dark, faded afternoon
When you're gone
It's a harsh, jaded kind of blues
When you're gone
It's a hard, crazy kind of truth
Without you

Couldn't we sing a little longer?
I swear to God, just one more song
Couldn't you tell me how it's supposed to be?
Supposed to go on now that you have gone

Now you're gone
It's a dark, faded afternoon
Now you're gone
It's a harsh, jaded kind of blues
Now you're gone
And it's a hard, crazy kind of truth
Without you
Now you're gone
And it's a dark, faded afternoon
Now you're gone
It's a harsh, jaded kind of blues
Now you're gone
And it's a hard, crazy kind of truth
Without you
