Girl, quiet, to speak and fade away (9)

I believe the answer is:

evaporate

(Other definitions for evaporate that I've seen before include "Turn into vapour, lose moisture" , "Turn from liquid to vapour" , "Desiccate, dry up" , "let off steam" , "Turn liquid to gas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
