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 just makes you walk a thin grey line between the living and the dead,
Haven't we been waiting all our lives just to hear the angels sing inside our heads'

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,
In a Wall Street I chanced to find a pearl,
I was terminally sick at the Mayo Clinic when I met this doctor with a cure.

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.

While the light fades, while the light fades,
While the light fades from your eyes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Light fades from your eyes.
