Cover versions Like McLean, he stops short of mentioning Buddy Holly directly, but questions the ill-fated songwriter's " Not Fade Away" (the last song Holly performed) lyric "a love to last more than one day, a lover's love, not fade away" with Stevens' own "denim blue, fading up to the sky, and though you want him to last forever you know he never will, and the patches make the goodbye harder still".
