Lyrics
Memories Fade (The Lost Ones) Lyrics by Paul Dempsey (v1) They can be seen sitting in a chair With that blank distant stare You wonder where they are Wandering a fragmented mind Looking for things left behind Their journey has been very far (v2) Simple words become hard to find Familiar faces don’t come to mind No matter how hard they try Suspended in a confused sleep They often weep And can’t really tell you why (chorus) They say when memories fade It’s like someone’s drawing the shade And the shadows that are cast Serve only to obscure the past They block part of the view Later, far less light gets through (v3) A life that was once vibrant and alive Struggles now to simply survive And time is not their friend Every new day must be so terrifying They’re an adult, there’s no denying But becoming a child again (bridge) And we hold their hands Though they no longer know us And speak softly to reassure them But we feel helpless in the end (chorus)

This is one of my favorites of your songs/collaborations Inge, maybe because I know someone with dimentia. Very touching lyrics and well interpreted.

Interesting intro and throughout - has a blend reminiscent of a World category. Excellent vocal presence Inge! Very well composed with feeling and emotion. Bravo my friend!
