Story Behind the Song
This is one that Brian had shown Tim during the first few months the band had been together. The guitar parts were all there, but there was no lyrics so the two of them got together and wrote Fade Away. The lyrics are yet another reflection of one of Tim's past relationships, when he wasn't feeling quite as happy. The song is about a guy asking for help from anyone, but nobody listens. In the end, his girlfriend or wife, however you interpret it, finds him lying on the floor dead. Kind of a sad story, but it isn't meant to be taken literally, just a song. Hope you enjoy.
Lyrics
I fade Away into my own, hear me begging take me home. I close my heart, close my eyes, leave me here for one to find.
I need help like I never have before. Stay here with me like I know you'll do.
She passes through another door, hears water running like a stream. The body lies all broken down, she wipes a tear away with sleeve.
I need help like I never have before, stay here with me like I know you'll do.
I've reached the end, I've got nowhere to go. God only knows if I'll pull through.
I need help like I never have before, stay here with me like I know you'll do.
I fade Away, Fade Away, Fade Away... Fade Away....
