"Slip Away"


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
Hey, let's slip away
Hey, 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
Hey, let's slip away
Hey, 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 take its place
Colour my eyes with the dusk of this wonderful day
Hey, let's slip away
Hey, let's slip away

Letters from lovers are lining my grate
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 chrysalis crumbles
I'm falling slow motion
Dissolve...
