Newspapers with coffee stains
Autumn sun through window panes
Promises of self restrain
You wish were never made
Like a summer smile
That's one too many
And all the while just
Fades Away
Fades Away
Fades Away
Believe me now before we fade away
Dust streaks on venetian blinds
Chipped paint on the neon signs
Endless dues of the kind
You thought that you had paid
Like a stupid dream
That's gone by morning
It just seems to
Fade Away
Fade Away
Fade Away
Believe me now before we fade
I don't want to be left behind
Like this morning old coffee grinds
And I need to find out for myself
That this is not my best time
