Faded Away

                                  I don't remember much about that time,

Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine.

Riding the strip, sittin' on my lap

In the back of the truck with the only friends I had.



It was spring break, we were out late,

And I though goodness for heavens sake.

When I saw you

And then I kissed you



On a balcony over the sun

In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

We made love as the waves rolled in

And we owned that town for one weekend.



Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

Like the sound of the boat

Starting up, heading out of the bay

Girl you, faded away.



I still taste the shots on your lips that night,

And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes

Feel of your body takin' off your dress,

Waking up that morning in a tangled mess.

So if I'da known, I'da held on

A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose,

'Cause I still see you



On a balcony over the sun

In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

We made love as the waves rolled in

And we owned that town for one weekend.



Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

Like the sound of the boat

Starting up, heading out of the bay

Girl you, faded away.



On a balcony over the sun

In a chair by the rail, high above everyone

I watched you drive through the gate

Without saying the words I needed to say.



Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand

Like the tears on your face

And the sun going down that day

Girl you, faded away.

You faded away.
