My fingernails dig into the field I love
The orchard sits, Lord, I'm yearning
Come, desert sun, soak me up until I'm dry
The skyline hits, Lord, I'm weeping
Oh, 2-4-7 dance succession
Now have I made it? (Made it?)
All that was left behind, my state of mind
Oh, I'm faded (Faded)
Curtain call, I'm on my knees
The applause pours over me
Put my name on the marquee
Wish that I could be happy
Set me free
Like dusk-filled laughter that echoed through the yard
Last summer's song, Lord, I'm singing
This desperation that lingers all around
Swallows me up, Lord, I'm reeling
All that was left behind, my state of mind
Oh, I'm faded (Faded)
Curtain call, I'm on my knees
The applause pours over me
Put my name on the marquee
Wish that I could be happy
Set me free
Loneliness, it never dies
Oh, jealousy, it never dies
Curtain call, I'm on my knees
The applause pours over me
Put my name on the marquee
Wish that I could be happy
Set me free
Wish that I could be happy
Set me free
Oh, but loneliness, it never dies
Jealousy, it never dies
Loneliness, it never dies, oh
