![]() Wildflowers (1994) [ larger cover art ] |
I remember you so clearly
The first one through the door
I return to find you drifting
Too far from the shore
I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't notice
Which way the wind is blowing
So don't fade
No, don't fade on me
You were the one who made things different
You were the one who took me in
You were the one thing I could count on
Above all you were my friend
So don't fade
Don't fade on me
Well your clothes hang on a wire
And the sun is overhead
But today you are too weary
To even leave your bed
Was it love that took you under?
Or did you know too much?
Was it something you could picture?
But never could quite touch?
Don't fade
No, don't fade on me
So don't fade
Don't fade on me

| cchris_47 (jackson ms) | Posted: Mar 06, 2013 - 05:34 I really like this song. the first time i heard it i thought it came from the Mojo CD |
| psg (Ottawa) | Posted: Mar 06, 2013 - 05:34 The man's voice is like fingernails on chalkboard. Ugh. |
| Hannio (Austin, TX) | Posted: Mar 11, 2011 - 11:22 I know I have said it before, but the older I get the more I like Tom Petty. |
| johnjconn (chicago land) | Posted: Nov 05, 2010 - 12:20 Did he say " Don't fart on me" Not sure? |
| ddbz (The Midwest) | Posted: Mar 27, 2010 - 21:03 I love this album too... |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Feb 24, 2010 - 07:32 Pretty good for Tom Petty. He doesn't sound as stoned as usual... |
| mread (W117°12.138' N32°53.742') | Posted: Dec 23, 2009 - 10:42 Wow. Excellent. Never cared much for Petty's mainstream stuff, but this rocks, metaphorically speaking. _8_ |
| Forest267 (Milwaukee) | Posted: Oct 21, 2009 - 14:37 Sounds a bit like Nick Drake to me. I like it. |
| musickat | Posted: Oct 21, 2009 - 14:36 if your not familiar with Petty you should be. check out his Straight Into Darkness album. my fav. |
| handyrae (Zero Point Field) | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 13:09 I was never much of a fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but I really like this and Mudcrutch. |
| Marr (Houston (dreaming of Austin)) | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 13:05 Wow. I've never heard this one before. It exhibits a side of Petty that I'm really not familiar with. And I like it. |
| Smoove_D (Milwaukee) | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 13:04 Excellent song off an excellent album. It's gotten even better with time. |
| TJOpootertoot (Toronto) | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 13:04 A perfect example of the sort of deep album track that makes Wildflowers one of the great (relatively) unheralded records of the last 20 years. This is just beauty. |
| Papernapkin (Mountain View, CA) | Posted: May 16, 2009 - 08:33 It has a William Shatner syncopation to it. |

| jnhashmi (South Pasadena/Los Angeles) | Posted: Apr 14, 2009 - 18:02 Any radio station that would play this song instead of whatever the hit was from this record is tops in my book! I love RP! |
| a_genuine_find (Nieuw Amsterdam) | Posted: Mar 14, 2009 - 05:21 This song didn't make the playlist until Feb. 10 2009 |
| Melkor | Posted: Feb 10, 2009 - 16:21 Agreed! Petty is without compare as a songwriter and performer. |
| HazzeSwede (Vinyl Land) | Posted: Feb 10, 2009 - 15:47 Got to buy me some wildflowers,been waiting too long now. |
| BigTimber (SW Oregon) | Posted: Feb 10, 2009 - 15:46 One of my absolute favorite artists. Too many people judge him based solely on his songs that get played on the FM stations. This whole album is rock solid. |
| cossey_m | Posted: Feb 10, 2009 - 15:42 I love Tom Petty. He is home to me. |
