Fade Away

I know that I'll go crazy without you

But without you is how I must go

'Cause I played a round of poker with three blind mice

Took a bullet in my belly and I cheated death twice

So I know, oh, Good Lord, I know

All I really know

Is that I'm fading, I'm fading away

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

And I

Well, I don't claim to know the meaning of a wife

But I lost a lover who could've been my life before

And I can't understand why you treat me so bad

After all of the good times and smiles I had before

I guess that was all before

Yes, that was all before

I was fading, I'm fading away

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

And I

Know that these arms

Will reach for you girl

And I'll keep holdin' on, holdin' on to you (holdin' on to you)

Yeah, I'll keep holdin' on (holdin' on) holdin' on to you (hold)

No matter where I go (where I go) no matter what I do

I'm alone, I'm alone

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

Fading, yeah, I'm fading away

I'm fading, I'm fading away
