Just Might Fade Away

If I take a walk down by the riverside

You might wind up drowning

With your hands all tied

Might take a fall, could break your neck

You just don't know what you might expect

Yes you just might fade away

You might wake up in the afternoon

Wearing someone else's clothes

Lyin' in the heap on the corner of All Saints Road

Dreaming of somebody special

Dreaming of somebody new

Watching that somebody disappear

Cos they can't stand you

And yes, you just might fade away

A 100 dollar room on the 21st floor

A "Do not disturb"-sign, I hang it on the door

Think of giving it up, think of settling down

Think of what it would be like to be homeward-bound

Yes you just might fade away

Better keep down your voice

Cos someone might hear

Getting a little careless aren't you

Leavin' clues everywhere

If it's not a burnt matchstick

It's a cigarette butt

If it's not a greasy fingerprint

It's a trailer that died of love

Yes you just might fade away

Yes you just might fade away
