[Verse 1]
Brenda, pass the brandy to me one more time
It must have dropped another ten degrees
Wind's been screaming like a battered woman
It's a storm like I've never seen before
And life makes you walk a thin gray line
'Tween the living and the dead
Haven't we been waiting all our lives
Just to hear the angels sing inside our heads?

[Verse 2]
Brenda, pass the book to me one more time
I can't recall the chapter or the verse
I guess we shouldn't really be surprised
I guess we should expect the worst
It was another Black Friday when the bottom dropped out
And on Wall Street I chanced to find a pearl
I was terminally sick at the Mayo Clinic
When I met this doctor with a cure

[Pre-Chorus]
Now there's a witness
In the courtroom
Of a heart in disarray
And I believe his testimonial
I would die for it this day, yeah
[Chorus]
While the light fades
While the light fades
While the light fades from your eyes

[Verse 3]
Brenda, I am in a miserable state
I wanna hold on to something strong
Trying to regain some innocence
It's been going, going, going, going, gone

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4]
And I feel just like an orphan
Knocking on the doors of a million homes
Sure, I feel your arms around me
But it still don't mean I don't feel alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Now there's a witness
In the courtroom
Of a heart in disarray
And I believe his testimonial
I would die for it this day, yeah
[Chorus]
While the light fades
While the light fades
While the light fades from
While the light fades
While the light fades
While the light fades from your eyes

[Outro]
Light fades from your eyes
