Don't Fade On Me Lyrics
I remember you so clearly
The first one through the door
I return to find you drifting
Too far from the shore
I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't notice
Which way the wind is blowing
Don't fade
Don't fade on me
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
Above all you were my friend
Don't fade
Don't fade on me
Well your clothes hang on a wire
And the sun is overhead
But today you are too weary
To even leave your bed
Was it love that took you under?
Or did you know too much?
Was it something you could picture?
But never could quite touch?
Don't fade
Don't fade on me
there's nothing more painful than watching some one you love lose themselves, emotionaly or physicaly.
to me, it's less someone losing themselves than someone drifting away from you. so i'm a little bit egocentric, sue me.
I like the music in this song. It's amazing what you can do with acoustic guitars and some kind of pseudo-open D tuning (not to mention Tom Petty and Mike Campbell).
I think this song is about the sudden realization that he and his wife were no longer what they once were. It's about her, but it's also about their relationship.
