She Fades Away – The Georgia Satellites

Slow train running not too far from here
Put some distance between all her fears
She didn’t have no-one left her all alone
Don’t know why I dread just to call her home

[Chorus:]
She can’t laugh, she can’t cry
She’s had enough, it’s too much
When the sun goes down, she fades away

She never had no-one, did it all herself
She never cared much how anyone felt
Hollywood Boulevard, Christmas Eve
Into the land of make believe

[Chorus x2]

Call her angel, gonna make things right
All of her dreams falling out of sight
Standing in the pool drowning in gin
Think she’s never gonna make it home again

[Chorus]
