Slow Boat Fades Out

seven days i tried to hold you back
kissed and held my hands around your neck

don't fade away my dear
don't fade away
don't sail away my love
don't float away

just a bit more
and you¡¯re gone
please look back
(but) you¡¯re too far

eleven days i tried to make you smile
dried your tears, made jokes about our lives

don't fade away my dear
don't fade away
don't sail away my love
don't float away

just a bit more
and you¡¯re gone
please look back
but you¡¯re too far

sometimes i felt that something worked quite well
then it all fell to the ground again

don't fade away my dear
don't fade away
don't sail away my love
don't float away

just a bit more
and you¡¯re gone
please look back
(but) you¡¯re too far

oh please stay
if you can
you are my
guiding star
