Lyrics

FADE AWAY

Look in my eyes, please take the wheel,
I'm in no condition to drive
Rich in the head, but broke in the heart,
Though I wear a permanent smile

And I keep repeating the same old lines
'Bout who we are, how it was,
And how it could be again

Grief and despair, the common disease
For those who don't love anymore,
We're almost there, but it's a quarter to three
And we've been on this road for miles

So let's park this car for a while
And watch the night change from black to blue,
'Til we can't see the stars anymore

Where there's smoke there is fire,
Where there's hope there's desire,
Where there's rain there's a washing away,
We may run, and we may hide,
But we won't fade away, fade away

The coming of age creeps like a thief,
And leaves without saying goodbye
So sly like a criminal mind

Though we give our best, sometimes our best
Is never quite enough

Where there's smoke there is fire,
Where there's hope there's desire,
Where there's rain there's a washing away,
We may run, and we may hide,
But we won't fade away, fade away
