They cut down the tree where I used to read My name was carved in it Couldn't they see it was a cherished thing Why'd they have to get rid of it? I wonder what they're gonna replace it with I wonder what will become of it Fading away I'm fading away Seems like the whole world has forgotten me Hey world I'm losing all thought You've already took my memories Couldn't you give them back to me Or do you just want me to Fading away I'm fading away Seems like the whole world has forgotten me () I found myself in the dark outside It's like I am blind every way looks the same Every step I make Winds me up in the same place Every turn I make Winds me up in the same place One could say I'm fading away I'm fading away Seems like the whole world has forgotten me
