Don't Fade On Me

Tom Petty · Wildflowers [1994]

I remember you so clearly

The first one through the door

I return to find you drifting

Too far from the shore



I remember feeling this way

You can lose it without knowing

You wake up and you don't notice

Which way the wind is blowing



Don't fade

Don't fade on me



You were the one who made things different

You were the one who took me in

You were the one thing I could count on

Above all you were my friend

Don't fade

Don't fade on me



Well your clothes hang on a wire

And the sun is overhead

But today you are too weary

To even leave your bed



Was it love that took you under

Or did you know too much

What it something you could picture

But never could quite touch



Don't fade

Don't fade on me
