“Let the Darkness (Fade Away”
Lyrics of this song with melody in parentheses (needing still some correction/updating). Part of new music collection (of draft vocal tracks still needing much work).
V1:
It (lA-flat) takes (lA-flat) me (lBflat) back (lB nat).
Gone (lA-flat) in (lA-flat) a (lBflat) flash (lB nat).
In (D-flat) your (lB nat) arms (lB nat)—love (lB-flat) and (lB-flat) safety (lB-flat lB nat).
Suddenly (D-flat lB nat lB nat)—gone (lB-flat) from (lA-flat) me (lA-flat).
And (hA-flat) I look gray and (E-flat) white with (D-flat) guilt (MC)—
like (D-flat) I’ve seen a ghost, you (lB nat) say.
You’d (h G-flat) give anything (h G-flat E E-flat) to have me (lD-flat)
never (E) look at you again that (lE-flat) way (B).
Refrain:
Two (MC) lives unravel (D-flat D-flat MC) in (B-flat) my head (MC).
One’s (D-flat) alive (MC) and (B-flat) one is dead (MC).
Now (E-flat) warmth and (D-flat) sweetness overtake (D-flat MC MC).
I (B-flat) let the darkness (B-flat B-flat MC) fade (D-flat) away (C).
Let (E) the (E-flat) darkness (E-flat D-flat lB) fade (D-flat) away (B).
V2:
I’m (l A-flat) sorry I don’t always (A-flat B-flat) know (B nat)
when (D-flat) it’s (B) yes and (B-flat) when it’s (B) no,
when (D-flat) to look (E-flat) back and (E nat) when to let (E-flat) go.
You (l B-nat) say in (l G-flat) 20 years it’ll be “Who (A-flat) cares (B)?”
I (E-flat) wonder if I’ll make it (D-flat) there (B).
Refrain x2:
Two (MC) lives unravel (D-flat D-flat MC) in (B-flat) my head (MC).
One’s (D-flat) alive (MC) and (B-flat) one is dead (MC).
Now (E-flat) warmth and (D-flat) sweetness overtake (D-flat MC MC).
I (B-flat) let the darkness (B-flat B-flat MC) fade (D-flat) away (C).
Let (E) the (E-flat) darkness (E-flat D-flat lB) fade (D-flat) away (B).
Bridge:
Confusion (E) links them (hG-flat), we (A-flat) are (G-flat) one.
Both (E) lives setting (E E-flat) with (D-flat) the (E-flat) sun.
Don’t (lB) you (G-flat) know (E-flat)? That (E) girl is (E-flat) dead.
Don’t (lB) trip that (G-flat) wire in (D-flat) my (B nat) head.
beginning V1 chiasmus plus ending refrain:
It (lA-flat) takes (lA-flat) me (lBflat) back (lB nat).
Gone (lA-flat) in (lA-flat) a (lBflat) flash (lB nat).
In (D-flat) your (lB nat) arms (lB nat)—love (lB-flat) and (lB-flat) safety (lB-flat lB nat).
Suddenly (D-flat lB nat lB nat)—gone (lB-flat) from (lA-flat) me (lA-flat).
Let (E) the (E-flat) darkness (E-flat D-flat lB) fade (D-flat) away (B).
Let (E) the (E-flat) darkness (E-flat D-flat lB) fade (D-flat) away (B).
Let (E) the (E-flat) darkness (E-flat D-flat lB) fade (D-flat) away (B).
