Lyrics for Slipping Away

Guess it's just another dream That's slipping away Each time I fall asleep It seems I'm just drifting away Just as you have touched my heart Babe I wake and we're apart Yeah and it's slipping away Here comes just another day That's drifting away Every time I draw a breath It's dying away First the sun and then the moon One of them will be around soon Slipping away Slipping away Drifting away Slipping away Just as you have touched my heart I wake up babe and we're apart It seems we're slipping away Slipping away Slipping away All I want is ecstasy But I ain't getting much Just getting off on misery It seems I've lost my touch Well it's just another song But it's slipping away Well we didn't sing it long 'Cos it's fading away First the sun and then the moon One of them will be round soon Slipping away Slipping away Slipping away
