When I was young I knew everything
And I always knew I was a fool
She was a perfect page of poetry
Standing right there in my living room

Oh but that′s such a long time
Bad scenes play in my mind
While I dream of how you once held on to me

Stop fadin'... Stop fadin′ on me
Stop fadin'... Stop fadin' on me
It′s getting dark, and throwing sparks
and I′m already on my knees
Stop fading, now, stop fading on me

Now how could I stand next to you?
Looking like a wolfman on your arm
I've always been a bit of a lunatic
Oh, maybe that′s part of the charm

Oh but how slow the night goes
In dreams where I'm a low ghost
And you smile with your brown skin in the sun

Stop fadin′... Stop fadin' on me
Stop fadin′... Stop fadin' on me
Either cure me, or kill me
but don't leave me here to bleed, baby
Stop fadin′, now, stop fadin′ on me

Now I can't conjure a smile
And it hurts too much to breathe
And I hear you in the wind
Blowing softly through the trees
Like the spirits in the summertime, baby
All around me... Like the spirits in the summertime
Dancing, dancing around me, now

Stop fadin′... Stop fadin' on me
Stop fadin′... Stop fadin' on me
Cure me, or kill me, but don′t leave me here to bleed, now
Stop fadin'... Stop fadin' on me
Stop fadin′... Stop fadin′ on me
Stop fadin'... Stop fadin′ on me
Stop fadin'... Stop fadin′ on me
Stop fadin'... Stop fadin′ on me
Stop fadin'... Stop fadin' on me
Stop fadin′... Stop fadin′ on me
