Fade Away
Tom Walters
Fall in line
Before the road
Dissolves to dust inside my head
There comes a time
When you will go
Walking with the shadows of the dead
And I fade away before the day has been half spent
And I kiss the graves of all the righteous ways of men
I was blind
And I was broke
Crawling on my belly in the dirt
Did you find
A piece of gold
Buried in your flesh beneath the hurt
Balanced on a razor's edge
You hide the shame with cigarettes
Carving out a cold regret
You try so hard but can't forget
And I fade away before the day has been half spent
And I kiss the graves of all the righteous ways of men
Down the long abandoned path
A woman weeping 'neath a mask
Set in stone with ivy eyes
Down the long abandoned path
I didn't make it very far
Hollow out this heavy mind
