"Fade Away" Lyrics

This is not a monument.
This is not a holy writ
Pull my photo from the sun
To make way for the coming one.

Ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah

I am not an innocent.
This is not an accident.
In the rosy gloom of youth
Every moment has its truth.

It's gonna fade away,
It's gonna fade away,
Like God today,
It's gonna fade away

There is nothing I can say
That is not a cliche.
Love is not original,
It's not irreplaceable.

You are not the only one
Carrying a loaded gun.
This is not an attitude
That looks very good on you.

It's gonna fade away,
It's gonna fade away,
Like God today,
It's gonna fade away

Ah

It's gonna fade away,
It's gonna fade away,
Like God today,
It's gonna fade away
