Primary Lyrics by The Cure

Fade Away: The Early Years Vinyl Box Set

1981

[Verse 1]
The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white and slowly dreaming stops all time
Slow my steps and start to blur, so many years have filled my heart
I never thought I'd say those words

[Chorus]
The further we go and older we grow
The more we know, the less we show
The further we go and older we grow
The more we know, the less we show

[Verse 2]
The very first time I saw your face
I thought of a song and quickly changed the tune
The very first time I touched your skin
I thought of a story and rushed to reach the end too soon

[Bridge]
Oh, remember
Oh, please don't change

[Verse 3]
So the fall came, thirteen years
A shiny ring and how I could forget your name
The air no longer in my throat, another perfect lie is choked
But it always feels the same

[Bridge]
So they close together
Dressed in red and yellow
Innocent forever
Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream

[Chorus]
The further we go and older we grow
The more we know the less we show
The further we go and older we grow
The more we know the less we show
