Fade Away

[Verse 1]

The day is done, the blinds are drawn

The sound of afternoon is gone

The corner store has locked it's door

And everyone has left for home

[Chorus 1]

When their sleepy little heads

Settle snug inside their beds

You and I will stay and watch the sun fade away

[Verse 2]

The balladeer, the buccaneer

The liar, the man who would be king

The cavalier, the profiteer

The one who knows only suffering

[Chorus 2]

As the cannons gather rust

All their castles turn to dust

You and I will stay and see them fade away

[Bridge]

We are on an endless flight my friend

With no beginning and no end

I've forgotten more than I remember

Sometimes I want to hide myself away

But I know there's no escape

We must go on, go on forever

[Verse 3]

The sea will rise, mountains fall

The earth will turn itself upside down

But we have seen it all before

We will always be around

[Chorus 3]

In a hundred million years

When the planet disappears

You and I will stay

And watch the world fade away

[Outro]

And in a million trillion years

When the stars all disappear

You and I will stay

And watch it all fade away

Fade away (fade away)

Fade away (fade away)

Fade away (fade away)...
