I had one friend in high school recently he hung himself with string |
| [00:56.74] |
His note said |
| [00:57.70] |
"If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling." |
| [01:05.51] |
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love |
| [01:13.40] |
And I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of |
| [01:21.03] |
We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss |
| [01:29.18] |
And I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off |
| [01:36.77] |
She said |
| [01:37.66] |
The slow fade of love |
| [01:41.53] |
Its soft edge might cut you |
| [01:45.22] |
And our poor friend, Jim |
| [01:47.84] |
Well he just lived within |
| [01:49.89] |
The slow fade of love |
| [01:54.23] |
A woman calls my house once a week; she's always selling things |
| [02:01.78] |
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine |
| [02:09.76] |
And as I turned her down, I always do, there was something trembling in her voice |
| [02:17.78] |
I said |
| [02:18.81] |
Hey, what troubles you? |
| [02:20.08] |
She said |
| [02:20.94] |
I'm surprised you noticed |
| [02:26.00] |
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and I can't convince him to stay |
| [02:33.91] |
And he'll take our daughter with him, she wants to go with him anyway |
| [02:42.88] |
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, living is the problem for me |
| [02:50.52] |
I'm selling people things they don't want when I don't know what you need |
| [02:58.31] |
He said the slow fade of love |
| [03:02.33] |
And it's mist might choke you |
| [03:06.68] |
It's my gradual descent |
| [03:08.79] |
Into a life I never meant |
| [03:11.52] |
It's the slow fade of love |
| [03:40.66] |
I was driving south of Melrose; I happened upon my old lover's old house |
| [03:48.24] |
I found myself staring at the closed up door like the day she threw me out |
| [03:56.89] |
"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die for you |
| [04:04.29] |
I'm in love with you completely, I'm afraid that's all I can do" |
| [04:11.91] |
She said |
| [04:12.56] |
"You can sleep upon my doorstep, you can promise me indifference, Jim |
| [04:21.65] |
But my mind is made up, and I'll never let you in again" |
| [04:29.23] |
For the slow fade of love |
| [04:32.56] |
It might hit you from below |
| [04:37.08] |
It's your gradual descent |
| [04:39.04] |
Into a life you never meant |
| [04:41.19] |
It's the slow fade of love |
| [04:43.81] |
