Slow Fade

You keep knocking on my door Soon as the pain goes away To leave me how you found me Leave me the way you found me So long since California Swore we'd never speak again Goodbye at six and twenty No need to sink or swim I'm crossing my T's and I'm dotting my I's Still can't keep my big fat mouth shut A love dipped in fleas with a bark and a bite Well now I'll be floating away Like a slow fade You once had my heart We made it fall apart And now the sun must set Like a slow fade You once had my heart We made it fall apart And now the sun must set I used to dream in roses And believe two big brown eyes We couldn't put the fire out Believe me how I try The leader of the backstroke Can't conceal all of our lies We try to clean the mess up We try to clean the mess up I'm crossing my T's and I'm dotting my I's Still can't keep my big fat mouth shut A love dipped in fleas with a bark and a bite Well now I'll be floating away Like a slow fade You once had my heart We made it fall apart And now the sun must set Like a slow fade You once had my heart We made it fall apart And now the sun must set The sun Like a slow fade You once had my heart We made it fall apart And now the sun must set Like a slow fade You once had my heart We made it fall apart And now the sun must set The sun must set
