She Fades Away
Shes like a frostfern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades away
My pencils frozen in my hand
And the letter I cant write, it seems to be a desert without end
I woke up late at night
She called me up then disappeared
And the echo of her voice filled the empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide
She fades away
Again
She fades away
She fades away again,
Dont go now, please stay
My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on the deserted road
I hear a humming of machines
A distant sound like thunder
Crawling through the cold
Theres no escape, I know,
I run around in circles without end
And the more the memory grows
Dissolving from reality
With the silent tide
She fades away...
...dont make me cry
This time, Ive got to learn
I know, she wont return

Time Fades Away
Fourteen junkies too weak to work
One sells diamonds for what theyre worth
Down on pain street, disappointment lurks
Son, dont be home too late.
Try to get back by eight
Son, dont wait till the break of day
cause you know how time fades away.
Time fades away
You know how time fades away.
All day presidents look out windows
All night sentries watch the moonglow
All are waiting till the time is right
Son, dont be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, dont wait till the break of day
cause you know how time fades away.
Time fades away
You know how time fades away.
Back in canada I spent my days
Riding subways through a haze
I was handcuffed, I was born & raised
Son, dont be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, dont wait till the break of day
cause you know how time fades away.
Time fades away
You know how time fades away.
Thirteen junkies too weak to work
One sells diamonds for what theyre worth
Down on pain street disappointment lurks.
Son, dont be home too late
Try to get back by eight, eight
Son, dont wait till the break of day
cause you know how time fades away.
Time fades away
You know how time fades away.
Time fades away
You know how time fades away

Whatever
(feat. The Trolls)
I'm sittin' like a stone
On a solitary evening
Without my girl
Life has no meaning
She didn't say why
And she didn't say what for
she just said "I've been thinking it over"
And whatever,
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
The solution to love
I haven't found yet
Does God have curlers and a
Lairnet
Everything I say comes out
To be a no no
The feelings I had were the
Only promo
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
Now I'm just one of the Joes
On the corner
I guess I ought to stay home
And watch the porno
I wanna get close
But no one
Will let me
I wish someone would react out
A and get me
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her face just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her touch just fades away
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever

Hope Fades Away
When There's no Falling Far From Grace,
and All Your Hope Fades.
It's a Dreary Face,
When Nothing Seems to fall in Place.
When all Hope Fades,
Nothing Seems to Make Much Sense.
When all Hope Fades,
Life is but a Loveless Trance.
When all Hope Fades,
Heroes Fall to Hells Great Weight.
When all Hope Fades,
Demons Claw out of Massive Flames.
When Hope Fades Away.

Life Fades Away
Written by orbison/danzig
My time has come the clouds are calling.
December wind has came my way.
And now I feel the world falling.
All at once, its too late.
Life fades away.
The night is my day.
All thoughts slip away
And even though, I must leave you.
Remember I love you.
Ill always be in your memories.
I will always be with you when Im gone.
Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.
Life fades away.
Im tired on tomorrow.lost for today.
I long to be at peace forever.
My dull peace
And even though, I will miss you.
I must leave you.
Hey, life fades away.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.
So please forgive me.and try not to cry.
I long to be at peace forever more.
Forever more.
Oh yeah, yeah , yeah ,yeah ,yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah ,yeah , yeah, yeah.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.
Life fades away.away.
One last thing to say
Life fades away.

Why Fades A Dream
WHY fades a dream?
An iridescent ray
Flecked in between the tryst
Of night and day.
Why fades a dream? —
Of consciousness the shade
Wrought out by lack of light and made
Upon life's stream.
Why fades a dream?
That thought may thrive,
So fades the fleshless dream;
Lest men should learn to trust
The things that seem.
So fades a dream,
That living thought may grow
And like a waxing star-beam glow
Upon life's stream —
So fades a dream.

When Love Fades
(toby keith/chuck cannon)
Going through the motions pretending to be
The man you used to see in me baby
You dont want to hurt me so you play along
And it dont feel right, and it dont feel wrong
It just feels like a memory
Barely alive
When will we let it die
Where do you run
Where do you hide
After a prmise breaks
Wholl be the one
To say goodbye
And wholl be the one to stay
When love fades
How are we gonna let go of something thats gone
Aint it funny how a broken heart just keeps hangin on baby
You watched me walk away
And I set you free
But I come back to you and you come back to me
I guess it beats being lonely thats the reason why
We give it one more try
Where do you run
Where do you hide
After a promise breaks
Wholl be the one
To say goodbye
And wholl be the one to stay
When love fades
When love fades
Where do you run
Where do you hide
After a promise breaks
Wholl be the one
To say goodbye
And wholl be the one to stay
When love fades
When love fades

Maybe Not Today But When That Medication Fades
I use to feel so bad about it.
I use to get so mad and doubt it.
When conversations turned to age.
And who had looks they thought would stay.
I use to feel so bad about it.
I use to feel so mad and doubt it!
When conversations turned to age.
And who had looks they thought would stay!
Right now,
I'm a little proactive than the rest.
Right now,
When I walk outside I'm there to exercise...
With a steadied pacing of determined steps.
And right now chronologically,
Nobody's getting younger.
And even those stunning....
Will see a Sunset,
On their youthfulness.
And an aging seems to creep up on the 'stunning ones'.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
They wish to run through life as if it's nothing BUT fun.
Maybe another day they will wish they didn't...
When that medication fades.
Putting off tomorrow what today should be done!
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
And they will someday gratefully pray.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
I use to feel so bad about it.
I use to get so mad and doubt it.
When conversations turned to age.
And who had looks they thought would stay.
And an aging seems to creep up on the 'stunning ones'.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
They wish to run through life as if it's nothing BUT fun.
To leave everything around them undone!
And they will someday gratefully pray.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
And they will someday rest and not have hourly played!
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
And they will learn to disobey doesn't really pay.
To wake up in resentment with time gone and spent! !
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
And they will learn one day to disobey doesn't pay.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
To wake up in resentment with time gone and spent! !
And this is a waste nobody has to witness!
But...
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
But...
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.
But...
Maybe not today but when that medication fades.

The Dead Next Door
Watch the sky
For a reason why
Im safe here
Sunday it was part
Monday it was none
Monday was none
For the dead next door
One pair of silent terror reins
And were the dead next door
The heat of the day fades away
Fades into the night
The heat of the day
Offering a wedding
Suffering away
For the dead next door
You see
One error, silent terror
And were the dead next door
In animal land
And dark is in command
One thing you should know
Dont hear that knocking
Dont eat out of their hand
Dont stumble, die
You say
Dont stumble, cry
They see you and me
You and me
With the dead next door
You and me
With the dead next door
You and me
With the dead next door

Everything Fades Away
Baby don't tell me you miss me, you love me
Don't whisper gently that you can't forget me
Tonight, tonight
'Cause I've heard it all before
Just turn away, don't play that game
Baby, I don't want to anymore
Chorus:
Let it all fade away
Don't you know the love is gone, it's too late
Oh
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby
No, no, no
Don't tell me you're sorry you hurt me
How many times can I give in?
How many battles can you win?
Oh, don't beg for mercy tonight
Tonight
'Cause I can't take anymore
Just turn around, don't break me down
Baby, I don't love you like before
Chorus
(Let it fade away)
(Everything fades away)
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby... oh
So hard for me to let you go
(So hard)
Don't leave me standing in the cold
(Don't leave me standing, oh)
Oh baby give me one more chance
I know that we can make amends
(I know)
Just let me love you one more time
(Don't say it)
I don't wanna lose my mind
(Don't say it, say it)
So hard for me to let you go, so hard for me to let you go
Chorus
(Why don't you)
(The love is gone baby)
(It's too late, oh)
(Oh, nothing ever stays the same)
(Nothing ever stays the same, whoa)
(Let it fade away)
(The love is gone baby)
(It's too late)
(Every, everything... fades away)
It only fades, it only fades
Only fades, it only fades
(Baby don't tell me you miss you love me)
Whoa
(Repeat till end)

The Truth Fades In The Everglades
The truth fades in the everglades. Jewels turn to stone. Battered and broken. Twisted from the inside. Free ride. Written on a piece of cardboard, hung in the window of whats now an empty house. Bringing back the memories as the truth fades in the everglades. Moss floating in the sky. An everlasting sunrise. It never ceases to amaze. Wish you could see it with me one more time. But now the truth fades in the everglades. Swallowed by miles hot humid nothingness that is so enchanting, memorizing, and hypnotizing. Its something once you've been here you could never forget. Its hard to digest but the truth fades in the everglades. A trick of the mind. A complete loss of all time. You were all that mattered. And now i pray where the truth fades in the everglades. In the beauty of the beast. Horrid thoughts run through my mind. I have feeling i will see you soon in the one place. the truth fades in the everglades.

The Symphony
Wonder in happy eyes
Fades, fades away:
And the angel-coloured skies
Whisper farewell.
Loveliness over the strings of the heart may stray
In fugitive melodies;
But Oh, the hand of the Master must not stay,
Even for a breath;
For to prolong one joy, or even to dwell
On one rich chord of pain,
Beyond the pulse of the song, would untune heaven
And drown the stars in death.
So youth with its love-note dies;
And beauty fades in the air,
To make the master-symphony immortal,
And find new life and deeper wonder there.

Funny How It Fades Away
Those days when our hearts were as big as the sun
Turn around with a smile for everyone
That feelings a memory
Funny how it fades away
You wont see those pale grays returning to blues
The colors will wash out as I shrink in my shoes
And I wont always live and breathe
Watch me as I fade away
We wake in the morning and work all day
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
Just like a candle burning bright
Burning like forever then it fades away
Who on this planet would ever refuse
The chance of a lifetime to love and lose
When time is of no importance
Have you seen it slip away?
We wake in the morning and work all day
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
Just like a candle burning bright
Burning like forever then it fades away
We wake in the morning and work all day
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
Just like a candle burning bright
Burning like forever then it fades away

Coolin Down
(john farrar)
Take all the time that you need to be certain
Say nothing till you can say what you mean
Dont stay with me just to save me from hurtin
I may be young but Im not green
Im in no hurry for the show
To hear what I already know
cause youve been coolin down
Even a fool could see
Coolin down
Driftin away from me
Day by day love fades away
Coolin down, coolin down
Trapped in your dreams for too long youve been yearnin
To find yourself live a life of your own
The love has died and it wont be returnin
I feel so helpless and alone
Now everything I try to do
Is right for me but wrong for you
cause youve been coolin down
Even a fool could see
Coolin down
Driftin away from me
Day by day love fades away
Coolin down, coolin down

Into the Stillness
Stillness,
fades from an
awakening memory,
sounds return
wheels humming
waving quietly
into the nights air
into the cool September air
amidst the darkness
tears began to fall
like rain
Looking into the
fading stillness
the border quickly
fades,
into the darkness,
into the stillness,
into September's chill
Before drifting off
to sleep
at the September crossing
I said, 'good-bye'
stillness now gone
as the memory returns

Fading Sun
as the sun fades
this afternoon
it leaves a mark
of ripples lights
on the gray sea
in a moment
everything fades

Lost And Goodbye
Do you remember when we were so tender
I long for them days
You were forgiving and we were just living
In clouds night and day
Hard to believe when I see
What we've become you and me
You made me feel but I know
That I will follow wherever you go
When love fades away
You just don't know how to go on
When love fades away
And the magic we had is long gone
You just don't know
Who you really are
Until the day that you find you are lost
You are lost and goodbye
Time passing by
While I'm wondering why I am here
without you
You were my startlight
Now I don't know how to go on
without you
Why can't I turn back time
Now that I've learned from my lies
Oh, it just burns my eyes
To see you with somebody else
by your side

When the Smile Fades
When The Smile Fades
When The Smile Fades by Samuel K Byrd
There, that's right, yes, do it again
That's it yeah, no, don't stop
Don't you ever stop, I want you to always
Smile for me
As long as I can see that smile on your face
I know that with you I've earned my place
A smile, just a simple smile
Followed by a short laugh
Just for that small request
I would trade in all I have
But what happens when the smile fades?
No, no, no
You not smiling, is something I could not conceive
Never, never, never
Would I make you frown, something you can believe
To look a pond the face
of the one that helps me get through the day
How could I allow anyone, even my self
To bring pain your way
Traffic jams, demotions,
bill collectors at the door
Doctors appointments, soccer practice
At the end of it all it's you I long for
But the laughter has ceased
The light that brightens my world has decreased
The smile is there but has become routine
What did I do, what did I say,
Whatever it was I'm sure I didn't mean
I need my smile, my laughter, my light
The only thing that gets me through the day
and keeps me warm at night
So what do I do when the smile fades?

Why Worry
I worry, I wonder all the time why worry
Its killing me, forget about it
I whisper, remember what she did
Dont miss her
Set me free, she wont allow it
Angry and gone, and the list goes on and on
Now Im letting up, I should be the one whos letting go
Shes lonely, shes scared, Im relationship impaired
If its love, I will differ, Im being lost being with her
I cant move on, I cant take it
She, she says we wont ma-a-ake it now
I cant move on, I cant take it
She, she says we wont ma-a-ake it now
Be-lieving, the things I did were wrong
Im leaving
It fades a-way, forget about it
Shes binding, cant do a thing alone
Rewinding
Times before, cant live without it
I dont know
But you did but you did ut yo-ou did
Please dont go
Now my feelings for you theyre now lost
cause were through anymore
Ill write you , Ill call you
Now

Summerfades
The summer fades like sunsets
But I still have memories of you at the beach
The royal sun-god burned the images into my mind and memory
The memories are like the 1970s
They are back there, but still here
the beach in my memory fades in the distance
You are there forever,
and I wouldn't have it any other way
Godblessyou amen
