She wants to fade to black/yeah, her life has finally jumped the tracks
and there's no way to turn it back she can barely breathe/ yeah, she can barely see any kind of future/ let alone with me
I'm on the road with the band n' I can feel her slipping through my hands
I can see she's in so much pain with the hours that remain/Oh, but she's so beautiful when she smiles/her laughter echo's like a child

She wants to fade to black/yeah, her life has finally jumped the tracks and there's no way to turn it back she can barely breathe/yeah, she can barely see any kind of future/let alone with me

That's when she looks up at me and says,
It might just be my time for that train to swing on by. I might take that last ride to find myself on the other side. There's no way to explain all the pain that remains /ripping up my insides/let me go to the other side/Baby, can't you see/it's like blood you can't see dripping slowly out of me

I sing to her awhile/until she laughs/until she smiles/I'm her music man with angel wings/I won't let her fade to black/I won't let her jump the track.
