about

"Old Love Never Dies, it simply fades away, Midnight train, and Some other place are all linked. It's the same person/relationship. I was influenced greatly by Chris Isaak's Wicked Game which is one of my favourite songs of all time." Patrick Snape.

lyrics

Old love never dies (it simply fades away)

You knocked on my door like a hammer to the chest
Cleared out memories that caused you unrest
Stamped your authority without delay
Controlled the night, seized the day

The Bard of Stratford was heard to say
Old love never dies, but simply fades away

One broken night on the journey South
You couldn't resist opening your mouth
Pin point sharp and steel bright
Your needle words could puncture light

The Queen of England's been heard to say
One’s love never dies, but simply fades away

If the Universe were white
And the stars were deepest black
I wouldn't reverse my opinion
I still wouldn't want you back

I thought you were a gift from God
Throwing me a line for doing a good job
Now we've slipped of the page like earth from a spade
Nothing remains of the life we made

My friends have heard me say (Of late)
Old love never dies, but simply fades away

Old love never dies it simply fades away
