Fade Away

Marie my dear old friend
don't look away, no don't pretend
Yes, it's me behind these eyes,
it's good to see you in the end.

They say I lost control,
my life did not go well.
My habits took their toll
and I could not break their spell

I am not asking you for money
and you don't need to stay too long
Just sit with me a while
and we will sing that same old song

[instrumental]

It's the one you sang to me
It was your favorite that first day
On that day I could not see
there was no chance that you would stay

Once they told me you were gone
I lost the will to carry on
I left my home, I lost my place
I made sure I left no trace

I walked for years with no hope
and in time forgot the song
Time passed and I grew old
and too tired to go home

[instrumental]

Now look at me, there's not much left
I am smaller every day
My thoughts are slow and very few
I only wish to fade away

[outro]

Now look at me, there's not much left
I am smaller every day
My thoughts are slow and very few
I only wish to fade away

I only wish to fade away

fade away......

[instrumental]


Fade Away

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
