Fading Away |
| I was at the breakwall, I was lookin' at the sea |
| In back of the eight ball in some misery |
| There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools |
| They were headin' into the harbor with all their broken rules |
| Whenever I’m feelin' lonely I can just pick up the phone |
| Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone |
| They’re better off to be someplace that’s a good long way from home |
| Any way I can lose myself |
| Dawn is breakin', I’m hesitatin', I’m |
| Fading away, fading away |
| They sailed right to meet me, I said what’s it all about |
| Please try to excuse me, we can work things out |
| If you’ve ever wondered if that mighty ship is real |
| Let me tell ya 'bout it brother, it was somethin' you could feel |
| Whenever I’m feelin' lonely I let twilight set the tone |
| Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone |
| They’re better off to be someplace that’s a good long way to roam |
| Ain’t livin' high on the hog right now |
| Time is wastin', I’m hesitatin', I’m |
| Fading away, fading away |
| One more day on the calendar on my mind |
| I am down around the breakwall puttin' in some time |
| The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way |
| And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say |
| Whenever I’m feelin' lonely I can just pick up the phone |
| Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone |
| They’re better off to be someplace that’s a good long piece from home |
| Any way I can lose myself |
| Dawn is breakin', I’m hesitatin', I’m |
| Fading away, fading away |
| Fading away, fading away |
