This was one of those tunes that you were sure to hear almost weekly at The Wall's synthpop night, but it was also one of those tunes that would pack the dance floor!
It's so ridiculous to me that people are always talking about how much this band sounded like Depeche Mode as if it were something bad and insulting. What band of this genre would not have wanted to be compared to Depeche Mode?!?!?!
This song is also a vivid reminder of how people have a tendency to take loved ones for granted --- until they are long gone...
Like children
Rarely seen and never heard
Emotion
Bare your soul you'll never learn
But don't ask why
And you won't get lied to
Speak to her softly
It's something you get used to
(Chorus)
You think you know her
But you never really
Lived a life without her
Though you couldn't tell me
The things she said
The books she read
The way she looked when the morning came
The time of night that you held her tight
But you'll never forget the day she ran away
I found her all alone lost in a crowd
When she saw me
I felt so much I cried aloud
She turned away
I couldn't speak to stop her
The only sound I heard
Was the echo of her laughter
Chorus
The things she said
The books she read
The way she looked when the morning came
The time of night that you held her tight
But you'll never forget the day she ran away
Repeat To Fade
