[Verse 1]
Letters piled up at the front door of my phone
Yet I felt alone
Watching everyone go
Peeking through the curtains with the lights off
Just trying not to get caught
Trying to keep watch

[Verse 2]
Whittled away the whole oak tree today
Yet I felt the same
Pocket full of change
Morning turns the quarter sun to copper
A penny paid, a nickel made
None the wiser

[Chorus]
Here in my yard
I spend my days
Here in my yard
Time fades away

[Verse 3]
Enough was enough, they don’t send nothing no morе
Though I can’t be sure
Cause I lockеd the door
Rolled up the carpet with myself inside
Couldn’t say hello
Never said goodbye
[Chorus]
Here in my yard
I spend my days
Here in my yard
Time fades away

[Outro]
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
Ooh, time fades away
