The Rolling Stones

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 ecstacy

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
