Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fourteen junkies too weak to work One sells diamonds for what they're worth Down on pain street disappointment lurks [Chorus] Son, don't be home too late Try to get back by eight Son, don't wait till the break of day 'Cause you know how time fades away Yes, you know how time fades away [Verse 2] All day presidents look out windows All night sentries watch the moon glow All are waiting till the time is right [Chorus] Son, don't be home too late Try to get back by eight Son, don't wait till the break of day 'Cause you know how time fades away Yes, you know how time fades away Ooh you know how time fades away [Electric Guitar & Lap Slide Guitar Solos] [Verse 3] Back in Canada, I spent my days Riding subways through a haze I was handcuffed, I was born and raised [Chorus] Son, don't be home too late Try to get back by eight Son, don't wait till the break of day 'Cause you know how time fades away Yes, you know how time fades away [Verse 1] Thirteen junkies too weak to work One sells diamonds for what they're worth Down on pain street disappointment lurks [Chorus] Son, don't be home too late Try to get back by eight Son, don't wait till the break of day 'Cause you know how time fades away Ooh, you know how time fades away [Outro] You know how time fades away Ooh, you know how time fades away
