They stumbled into their lives In a vague way became man and wife One got the other They deserved one another They settled in a brand new town With people from the same background They kept themselves busy Long hours left them dizzy Now when He's in She's out
All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away He's not making plans 'Cos now they understand All you ever do is fade away
He noticed he had visible lines She worried about her behind Their birth had been the death of them It didn't really bother them Now when She's in He's out
All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away She's not making plans 'Cos now she understands All you ever do is fade away
When he's in She's out
All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They're not making plans 'Cos now they understand He must learn to forget 'Cos this is all you'll ever get All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They're not making plans 'Cos now they understand All you ever do is fade away... (to fade)
