Fade Away

My name used to hang around the tongues

Of every critic turned admirer from the papers in this town

And I walked the dreams of pretty girls

With eyes of green and golden curls but where are they now

I looked away for just a moment not knowing what to say

So this is how it feels to fade away

Nobody gets it right on their first try

You gotta see we were doing something real

We played the clubs and drive all night

Slept on floors and had our stupid fights

And after all the crowds have gone
