Fade Away (Trijan Refrain)

by Bryan   Oct 10, 2007


I ask my heart why do I cry,
To feel this pain inside,
Broken hearts should not have to lie,
Have all this pain to hide,
Sweet tragedy is all I feel,
This pain is just too real,
Sweet tragedy,
Sweet tragedy,
And now my heart will never heal.

I ask my heart why do I cry,
Let this pain get to me,
To wish that my soul would just die,
Finally be happy,
To be happy can never last,
And this love comes and goes so fast,
To be happy,
To be happy,
Fairy-tales for me will not past.

I ask my heart why do I cry,
Let her tear me apart,
And no matter how hard I try,
My love just wont depart,
I still love her, its what I fear,
All the pain I've felt and the tears,
I still love her,
I still love her,
Fading away, the end is clear.

The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines.
Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas, although a variation of the form is not to repeat the same line
at the beginning of each stanza. In other words, the beginning line of each stanza can be different.
The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8.
The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:

Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c
