Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember you so clearly
The first one through the door
I return to find you drifting
Too far from the shore
And I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't notice
Which way the wind is blowin'
[Verse 2]
Don't fade
Don't fade on me
[Verse 3]
You were the one
Who made things different
You were the one
Who took me in
You were the one
Thing I could count on
And above all, you were my friend
[Verse 4]
So don't make me feel a stranger
And don't make me feel a fool
Don't make me out an outlaw
You said there were no rules
[Verse 5]
Don't fade
Don't fade on me
[Verse 6]
Well your clothes hang on a wire
And the sun is overhead
But today you are too weary
To even leave your bed
But was it love that took you under?
Or did you know too much?
Was it somethin' you could picture
But never could quite touch?
[Verse 7]
Don't fade
No, don't fade on me
Don't fade
No, don't fade on me
