Fade Away (live)

Fra Lippo Lippi

The day is done, the blinds are drawn

The sound of the afternoon is gone

The cornerst ore has locked its door

Everyone has left for home

When their sleepy little heads settle snug inside their beds

You and I will stay and watch the sun (fade away)



The balladeer, the buccaneer

The liar, the man who would be king

The cavalier, the profiteer

The one who knows only suffering

As the cannons gather rust and all their castles turn to dust

You and I will stay and see them all (fade away)



We are on an endless flight, my friend

No beginning and no end

I've forgotten more than I remember

I just want to hide myself away

But I know there's no escape

We must go on

Go on forever



The sea will rise, the mountains fall

The earth will turn itself upside down

But we haven't seen it all before

And we will always be around

In a hundred million years when the planet disappears

You and I will stay and watch the world fade away



In a million trillion years when the planet disappears

You and I will stay and watch them all fade away (fade away...)

Gonna watch them fade away

Do do do do do (fade away...)

Fade away...

Fade away...
