I Fade Away

As I walk the streets alone
I may notice a pretty girl
And I may stop and speak to her
But it's never anything more than surface chatter
If she's walking her dog we'll speak about her dog I never go in depth
See Smiles and Glide away walking the streets alone
I'll speak about the flower in her hair or the wonderful shade of lipstick
She thank me and I'll move along
But I will always walk alone
I let you see what I want you to see
And then I fade away
You won't remember me there's nothing to remember
I'm just a friendly guy who stopped and said hello
And but then I walk those streets alone
I know this is my cross to bear
To walk these streets to see a smile
Two still greet but never really to meet
I'm a ghost even though my heart still beats within my chest
You will never find out the rest
I walk these streets alone I Glade away

A ghostly figure on the street
