Time Fades Away

Fourteen junkies too weak to work

One sells diamonds for what they're worth

Down on pain street, disappointment lurks

Son, don't be home too late.

Try to get back by eight

Son, don't wait till the break of day

'cause you know how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



All day presidents look out windows

All night sentries watch the moonglow

All are waiting till the time is right

Son, don't be home too late

Try to get back by eight

Son, don't wait till the break of day

'cause you know how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



Back in canada i spent my days

Riding subways through a haze

I was handcuffed, i was born & raised

Son, don't be home too late

Try to get back by eight

Son, don't wait till the break of day

'cause you know how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



Thirteen junkies too weak to work

One sells diamonds for what they're worth

Down on pain street disappointment lurks.

Son, don't be home too late

Try to get back by eight, eight

Son, don't wait till the break of day

'cause you know how time fades away.

Time fades away

You know how time fades away.



Time fades away

You know how time fades away
