I had one friend in high school recently
he hung himself with string
His note said
"If livin' is the problem, well
that's just baffling."
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love
And I barely recognized her, but I knew
exactly what she was thinking of
We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss
And I remembered why I loved her, and I
asked her why I drove her off

She said
The slow fade of love
Its soft edge might cut you
And our poor friend, Jim
Well he just lived within
The slow fade of love

A woman calls my house once a week;
she's always selling things
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine
And as I turned her down, I always do, there was
something trembling in her voice
I said
Hey, what troubles you?
She said
I'm surprised you noticed
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and I
can't convince him to stay

wants to go with him anyway
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, living is the problem for me
I'm selling people things they don't want
when I don't know what you need

He said the slow fade of love
And its mist might choke you
It's my gradual descent
Into a life I never meant
It's the slow fade of love

I was driving south of Melrose; I happened
upon my old lover's old house
I found myself staring at the closed up door
like the day she threw me out
"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die for you
I'm in love with you completely, I'm
afraid that's all I can do"
She said
"You can sleep upon my doorstep, you
can promise me indifference, Jim
But my mind is made up, and I'll never let you in again"

For the slow fade of love
It might hit you from below
It's your gradual descent
Into a life you never meant
It's the slow fade of love
