A cowboy in a country song
Way out in Casa Grande with all his belongings gone
Lighter than his demand
Until the morning dawn he rides away
His past memories behind
Leaves a trail to see the things
That you couldn't find
And when the sun sets in the West
It fades away
It fades away like a midnight star
Clinging to the morning sky
The sun comes up
And then it fades away
Why wait for another time?
And we're bound to meet again
In a different life
So sleep soundly my old friend
And fade away
No reason or a rhyme
Could change the good Lord's time
Like a flame flickers in the night
Illuminated pretty sight that fades away
It fades away like a bullet train
Headed towards the end of line
The sun goes down and then it fades away
An angel that gains his wings
Spreads them all around the souls that he tried to save
And he left me one more thing before he faded away
He fades away like midnight star
Clinging to the morning sky
The sun comes up and then it fades away
Don't cry when it's time to go
And don't forget you don't look back at the rising sun
And when your time has come you'll fade away
Fade away, you'll fade away
Fade away, you'll fade away
Fade away, you'll fade away
Fade away, you'll fade away
