[Verse 1]
The day is done, the blinds are drawn
The sound of afternoon is gone
The corner store has locked it's door
And everyone has left for home

[Chorus 1]
When their sleepy little heads
Settle snug inside their beds
You and I will stay and watch the sun fade away

[Verse 2]
The balladeer, the buccaneer
The liar, the man who would be king
The cavalier, the profiteer
The one who knows only suffering

[Chorus 2]
As the cannons gather rust
All their castles turn to dust
You and I will stay and see them fade away

[Bridge]
We are on an endless flight my friend
With no beginning and no end
I've forgotten more than I remember
Sometimes I want to hide myself away
But I know there's no escape
We must go on, go on forever
[Verse 3]
The sea will rise, mountains fall
The earth will turn itself upside down
But we have seen it all before
We will always be around

[Chorus 3]
In a hundred million years
When the planet disappears
You and I will stay
And watch the world fade away

[Outro]
And in a million trillion years
When the stars all disappear
You and I will stay
And watch it all fade away
Fade away (fade away)
Fade away (fade away)
Fade away (fade away)...
