Fading Star

Fade away, my fading star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a fire in the sky

Fade away, fade away

In the night, you slip away

When the sun is gone

When there's nothing to depend on

Then you show your little light

Fade away throughout the night

In the dark blue sky, you keep

While you through my curtains peep

For you never shut your eye

Till the shadows eat the sky

Fade away, my fading star

How I wonder what you are
