I watched you steal away A man's best years With the drumming of his fingers With the kicking of his heals I watched you put away Your sweetest sins I watched tempters satisfy With the sweetest taste Of wasted time Don't let me disappear Don't let me let me fall apart Don't lead me to the wayside Just don't let me go Don't let me fade away I watched him travel down A steady road With no milestones Just a gentle slope Soft underfoot, No sudden turns to warn of sliding Down that safe and sound But all too familiar road This is all too familiar ♪ Don't let me disappear Don't let me let me fall apart Don't lead me to the wayside Just don't let me go Don't let me fade away Just keep this off my mind Anything or not a thing will do ♪ I watched you steal away A man's best years With the drumming of his fingers With the kicking of his heals With out a twinkle in his eye I watched him beg and plead with his moving lips And bended knees Just to have you back ♪ Be numb my heart O' nothingness ♪ Don't let me disappear Don't let me let me fall apart Don't lead me to the wayside Just don't let me go ♪ Don't let me fade away They've got you wrapped around their fingers ♪ Because anything or not a thing will do ♪ (A DEAD FIRE IN A COLD ROOM)
