I watched you steal away
A man's best years
With the drumming of his fingers
And the kicking of his heelsI watched you put away
Your sweetest sins
I watched tempters satisfy
With the sweetest taste of wasted timeDon't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade awayI watched him travel down
A steady road
With no milestones
Just a gentle slopeSoft underfoot, no sudden turns
Warn of sliding down that safe and sound
But not too familiar road
This is all too familiarDon't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade awayDon't let me disappear
Don't lead me to the wayside
Anything or not a thing will doI watched you steal away
A man's best years
With the drumming of his fingers
And the kicking of his heelsWithout a twinkle in his eye
I watched him beg and plead
With moving lips and bended knees
Just to have you backDon't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade awayDon't let me disappear
Don't lead me to the wayside
Anything or not a thing will doBe numb my heart
Oh, nothingness
Be numb my heart
Oh, nothingnessDon't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me goDon't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade awayDon't let me disappear
Don't lead me to the wayside
Anything or not a thing will do
