lyrics

SLIPPING AWAY

THROUGHOUT THE PASSAGE OF TIME
I THOUGHT I COULD TOW THE LINE
SOMETIMES I COULDN’T FIND MYSELF
COS THINGS DON’T TURN OUT FINE

LOST IN ALL MY ABSURDITIES
I SEE IT CLOSING IN
FROM THE MOMENT I SAW YOUR FACE
I FELT YOU DEEP WITHIN

FEELS LIKE YOU’RE SLIPPING AWAY
FEELS LIKE I’M DIPPING BENEATH THE WAVES

ALL THE CHANCES I NEVER TOOK
AND ALL THAT PASSED ME BY
REACHING OUT FOR A LOVING TOUCH
THAT WE COULD NEVER REALISE

TURNING ON TO A NEW FOUND TRUTH
ALWAYS SEEMED TO TURN TO SAND
THE FINAL OPPORTUNITY
I HELD IT IN MY HANDS

BUT NOW I’M SLIPPING AWAY
FEELS LIKE WE’RE DIPPING BENEATH THE WAVES
FOR NOW YOU’RE SLIPPING AWAY
FEELS LIKE I’M DIPPING BENEATH THE WAVES
