Slip Away Lyrics

Enter me gently

I break in the light

Cover my eyes

With the rags of my life

Was I dreaming?

Or did you say:

"The frontiers are falling

It's time to be slipping away

Let's slip away

Let's slip away"

All things fall from me

The bonds and the veils

All things blow by me

My sorrows have sails

Was I dreaming?

Or did you say:

"The empires are fading

It's time to be slipping away

Let's slip away

Let's slip away"

What am I to do?

Don't leave me

What is there to say?

I really...

We're just wasting time

Let the night takes its place

Colour my eyes

With the dusk of this wonderful day

Let's slip away

Let's slip away

Letters from lovers

Are lining my grave (?)

Some came too early

And some came too late

Were you speaking?

Or did I say:

"The frontiers have fallen

It's time to be slipping away

As you call me

My hands they fall open

My mouth it is frozen

The (???) stumbles is (???)

I'm falling slow-motion

Dissolve"
