When I've got something to say
Don't I always let you know
So that you and I can go my way
Together
If I get carried away
Well I could be sailing on a song
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
Everybody's breezing up
But I'm seizing up
I'm freezing up
And I'm fading
I'm fading away
I've got a hold on a night in june
I've got room for you and me
I've got moonlight up in the trees
I've got sixty eight degrees
I've got nothing on my mind
But I've got loving in my heart
And I've got something out in the garden
I want to show you
Well it doesn't really matter after all
If we quit this round about
And no one will really notice
If we just sit
This next one out
Oh you can strike up the band without me
You may have your doubts about me
But I'm just fading away
You can hardly even see me
Because I'm fading away
Well it's 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 ain't nothing up
My sleeve
Here I thought I was a thinking man
But I'm a shrinking man
Sinking man
I'm fading
Fading away
Well it's really not so bad
To be fading away
Come on along with me
We'll go fading away
You can hardly even hear me
Because I'm fading away
