The day is done, the blinds are drawn The sound of the afternoon is gone The cornerst ore has locked its door Everyone has left for home When their sleepy little heads settle snug inside their beds You and i will stay and watch the sun (fade away) The balladeer, the buccaneer The liar, the man who would be king The cavalier, the profiteer The one who knows only suffering As the cannons gather rust and all their castles turn to dust You and i will stay and see them all (fade away) We are on an endless flight, my friend No beginning and no end I've forgotten more than i remember I just want to hide myself away But i know there's no escape We must go on Go on forever The sea will rise, the mountains fall The earth will turn itself upside down But we haven't seen it all before And we will always be around In a hundred million years when the planet disappears You and i will stay and watch the world fade away In a million trillion years when the planet disappears You and i will stay and watch them all fade away (fade away...) Gonna watch them fade away Do do do do do (fade away...) Fade away... Fade away...
