Fade Away Lyrics - Hermit Of Mink Hollow - Todd Rundgren

The day is done, the blinds are drawn 

The sound of afternoon is gone 

The corner store has locked it's door 

And 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, 

All their castles turn to dust 

You and I will stay and see them fade away 

We are on an endless flight my friend

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

With no beginning and no end 

I've forgotten more than I remember 

Sometimes I want to hide myself away 

But I know there's no escape 

We must go on, go on forever 

The sea will rise, mountains fall 

The earth will turn itself upside down 

But we have seen it all before, 

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 

And in a million trillion years 

When the stars all disappear 

You and I will stay 

And watch it all fade away
