Fading Away Lyrics

Fading Away lyrics

When I've got something to say

 Well, don't I always let you know

 So that you and I can go my way together

 And if I get carried away

 Well, I could be sailing on a song

 And maybe we could carry on forever

 

 But lately this old dog

 Has been chasing his tail

 Round and round and round

 And the circles in my mind

 They have been winding slowly down

 Everybody's breezing up

 But I'm seizing up

 I'm freezing up

 And I'm fading away

 

 I've got a hold on a night in June

 I've got room for you and me

 I've got moonlight up in the trees

 I've got sixty-eight degrees

 I've got nothing on my mind

 But I've got loving in my heart

 And I've got something out in the garden

 I want to show you

 

 Well, it really doesn't matter after all

 If we quit this round about

 And no one will really notice

 If we can just sit this next one out

 You can strike up the band without me

 You may have your doubts about me

 But I'm just fading away

 You can hardly even see me

 Because I'm fading away

 

 Well, it's hard to find a label

 For this feeling in my bones

 That this is all a make-believe

 But my cards are on the table

 And there ain't nothing up my sleeve

 And here I thought I was a thinking man

 But I'm a shrinking man, I'm sinking man

 I'm fading, fading away

 

 Well, it's really not so bad to be fading away

 Come on along with me and we'll go fading away

 You can hardly even hear me because

 I'm fading away
