Lyrics
[verse]
I see the sun go down behind the door
And every color drains onto the floor
The garden that I loved is turning gray
There's nothing left of yesterday
[chorus]
Fade the color out, fade the whole sky gray
Fade the color out, let it drift away
I want the world to match this hollow tone
Fade the color out until I feel alone
[verse]
I look at people walking in the street
Dressed in colors, laughing where they meet
I want to shout that none of it is real
There's nothing bright enough to change the way I feel
[bridge]
The sitar hums a strange and aching line
Shadows folding into shadows all the time
I close my eyes but darkness follows still
It's in the air, it's in the window sill
[chorus]
Fade the color out, fade the whole sky gray
Fade the color out, let it drift away
I want the world to match this hollow tone
Fade the color out until I feel alone
