Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
Fade Away
I got my suitcase and I'm packing
Soon I'll be walking out the door
Can't think of anything
That ain't been said before
Something deep inside of me
Says get up off the floor
It's been too long
And the feeling's gone
Fade away
I got your letter here this morning
It says you won't be coming home
Says it'd be much too hard
to look into my eyes
Her new life is calling
And now is no time to cry
It's been too long
And the feeling's gone
Fade away
What makes two lovers
Drift apart this way
Other arms lie waiting
But the memories surely stay
It turned out wrong
And now the feeling's gone to stay
Fade away
Got this lonely, lonely feeling
Like I'm blowing in the wind
Like a gambler
Who hopes his hand will win
Love will come my way
Yes, love will come again
It's been too long
And the feeling's gone
Fade away, fade away, fade away
