fade away

last night i woke up dreaming

i dreamed you were on a boat

you were sailing down the cuyahoga river

and the guard pulled up the moat

baby

come back to me

baby

come back to me

baby

come back to me

don't fade away

and the sharks they fill the water

yeah

they really the like the mud

they keep me at a distance

and really smell the blood

nothing i can say

nothing

you won't believe me anyway

but i hope one day will come

when you're older

when you're older

the truth is veiled and fuzzy

and the water's thick with fog

i was drowning in a sea of isolation

i was reaching for the log

and log became a branch

and the branch became a tree

and the true became a crucifix

it's where you all have hung me

nothing i can say

nothing

you won't believe me anyway

but i hope one day will come

when you're older

when you're older
