FADE TO BLACK

Sunday matinée in a one-dog town
You're two seats away, I move two seats down
Wipe the tears from your eyes, the first kiss I stole
I walk you home, the credits roll

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black

I hear my voice on the telephone
But I'm just runnin' the same old business
I feel like I'm off somewhere so alone
Just watchin' us both run in the distance
Watchin' us both slowly pull back

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black

I come home, clothes all over the place
You're cryin' in the corner, makeup runnin' down your face*
[Suitcase is packed/the fight starts], I end up cursin'
Baby, is this the scene which we been rehearsin'
Is this the one or have I lost track
Waitin' for us to fade to black

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black

A face red with shame, eyes filled with hurt
I scream out your name, you rip my shirt

Small bungalow, a late afternoon
The sunlight falls like a bright veil
A camera pans an empty room
The picture dissolves and slowly pulls back

Fade to black
Fade to black
Fade to black
