Joe Grushecky - Beauty Fades lyrics

"Beauty Fades" Beauty fades from this and every landscape that I've ever seen Time slips by And we all became memories So instead of wasting time thinking of things I'd rather be I'm untied And this has left a hole in me It always was my biggest fear to die without changing a god damn thing We say the words, but do we understand The difference between speaking and living them? "I always was / I'll never be" Is what we'd like to think, but the others see Beauty fades from this and every landscape that I've ever seen Time slips by And we all became memories So instead of wasting time thinking of things I'd rather be I'm untied And this has left a hole in me And our lives begin to fade away We look for something or someone to save us Try to think of what you wanted to be Before the fear of failing won you over All the places that you wanted to see Will remain in postcards and pictures Til you die or finally take a chance Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known And our lives begin to fade away We look for something or someone to save us Try to think of what you wanted to be Before the fear of failing won you over All the places that you wanted to see Will remain in postcards and pictures Til you die or finally take a chance Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known Say goodbye to all you've ever known
