Fading Away — текст песни (James Taylor)

When Ive got something to say

Well, dont I always let you know

So that you and I can go my way together

And if I get carried away

Well, I could be sailing on a song

And maybe we could carry on forever



But lately this old dog

Has been chasing his tail

Round and round and round

And the circles in my mind

They have been winding slowly down

Everybodys breezing up

But Im seizing up

Im freezing up

And Im fading away



Ive got a hold on a night in june

Ive got room for you and me

Ive got moonlight up in the trees

Ive got sixty-eight degrees

Ive got nothing on my mind

But Ive got loving in my heart

And Ive got something out in the garden

I want to show you



Well, it really doesnt matter after all

If we quit this round about

And no one will really notice

If we can just sit this next one out

You can strike up the band without me

You may have your doubts about me

But Im just fading away

You can hardly even see me

Because Im fading away



Well, its hard to find a label

For this feeling in my bones

That this is all a make-believe

But my cards are on the table

And there aint nothing up my sleeve

And here I thought I was a thinking man

But Im a shrinking man, Im sinking man

Im fading, fading away



Well, its really not so bad to be fading away

Come on along with me and well go fading away

You can hardly even hear me because

Im fading away
