     All day presidents look out windows
     All night sentries watch the moonglow
     All are waiting till the time is right
     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, time fades away
     You know how time fades away.

     Back in Canada I spent my days
     Riding subways through a haze
     I was handcuffed, I was born & raised
     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, time fades away
     You know how time fades away.

     Thirteen junkies too weak to work
     One sells diamonds for what they're worth
     Down on pain street disappointment lurks.
     Son, don't be home too late
     Try to get back by eight, eight
     Son, don't wait till the break of day
     'Cause you know how time fades, time fades away
     You know how time fades away.

     Time fades away
     You know how time fades away
       (repeat this about 4 times)

     Son, don't wait till the break of day
     'Cause you know how time fades, time fades away
