Slip Away
Read a story from your sleep
You'll tell me everything I need to know
Turn in thread into a verse
We sit and watch the Fall return to earth
Quietly as autumn comes
The days are getting shorter
One by one
Waiting here for you
Spinning on a shelf
I'm wasting my time waiting for myself
Hide my hands behind my back
My fingertips, they hold a secret
I have to hold it lightly though
Be very careful not to break it
I'm holding on to something lost
I should just let go and move on
When I'm fast asleep
It flutters in my palm
And by the time I wake up it is gone
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hide my hands behind my back
My fingertips, they hold a secret
I have to hold it lightly though
Be very careful not to break it
I'm holding on to something lost
I should just let go and move on
When I'm fast asleep
It flutters in my palm
And by the time I wake up it is gone
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
You'll tell me everything I need to know
Turn in thread into a verse
We sit and watch the Fall return to earth
Quietly as autumn comes
The days are getting shorter
One by one
Waiting here for you
Spinning on a shelf
I'm wasting my time waiting for myself
Hide my hands behind my back
My fingertips, they hold a secret
I have to hold it lightly though
Be very careful not to break it
I'm holding on to something lost
I should just let go and move on
When I'm fast asleep
It flutters in my palm
And by the time I wake up it is gone
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hide my hands behind my back
My fingertips, they hold a secret
I have to hold it lightly though
Be very careful not to break it
I'm holding on to something lost
I should just let go and move on
When I'm fast asleep
It flutters in my palm
And by the time I wake up it is gone
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Slips away, slips away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
