Fade To Black

(album: Not The Boy Next Door - 1983)

When I came I searched low
You light up
Everybody fades to black
There's just your face
Just one to go along

I wait and I watch
And I wonder
If I'll ever get you back
Love is lost
But it's easy to be found

Like a wild young phantom
Coming and going so fast
Coming it's too good to last
You'll soon be part of my past
But for now I love you
Going and soon you'll be gone
Leaving me feeling undone
Leaving me feeling as one

And when the cameras says roll
You light up
Everybody fades to black
Go just your first
Just want to go around
I wait and I watch and I wonder
If I'll ever get you back
Love is lost but it's easy to be found

I'm like a stool pigeon baby
I get paid for telling the truth
If using the same old excuse
I keep blaming it all on you
But for now I love you
And while you're living out all your dreams
And living beyond all your means
Coming apart at the seams

And when the cameras says roll
You light up
Everybody fades to black
Go just your first
Just want to go around
I wait and I watch and I wonder
If I'll ever get you back
Love is lost but it's easy to be found
