You're such a pretty girl With a tattoo on your face I am a city boy And isn't that a waste I know your secret now But I know that you'll fade anyhow Time will show Time will show We fade away We fade away We fade away We fade away You've got such pretty curls And I'm lost in your embrace No need to try and die Just wait for time's disgrace You know we made a vow That we'd try to make it through somehow I don't know I don't know We fade away We fade away We fade away We fade away
