Slip away

slip away, slip away, slip aaaaway

before the darkness has gone from the night
between then and the first rays of sunlight
when everything is unreal
and I'm too tired to feel

slip away

if you must go, go fast
so with kindness we recall the past
how I wish you'd remain
things will never be the same

maybe you'll come back here
I'll wait for you tear after tear

slip away

and maybe someday
you'll turn over so as not to see
someone you love
slipping away

slip away
