Fading Away — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

I was at the breakwall, I was lookin` at the sea
In back of the eight ball in some misery
There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools
They were headin` into the harbor with all their broken rules
Whenever I`m feelin` lonely I can just pick up the phone
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
They`re better off to be someplace that`s a good long way from home
Any way I can lose myself
Dawn is breakin`, I`m hesitatin`, I`m
Fading away, fading away

They sailed right to meet me, I said what`s it all about
Please try to excuse me, we can work things out
If you`ve ever wondered if that mighty ship is real
Let me tell ya `bout it brother, it was somethin` you could feel

Whenever I`m feelin` lonely I let twilight set the tone
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
They`re better off to be someplace that`s a good long way to roam
Ain`t livin` high on the hog right now
Time is wastin`, I`m hesitatin`, I`m
Fading away, fading away

One more day on the calendar on my mind
I am down around the breakwall puttin` in some time
The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way
And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say

Whenever I`m feelin` lonely I can just pick up the phone
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
They`re better off to be someplace that`s a good long piece from home
Any way I can lose myself
Dawn is breakin`, I`m hesitatin`, I`m
Fading away, fading away
Fading away, fading away
