The Rolling Stones
Slipping Away
[Verse 1]
Guess it's just another dream that's slipping away
Each time that I fall asleep it seems I'm drifting away
[Chorus]
Just as you have touched my heart
Babe, I wake and we're apart
Yeah, and it's slipping away
[Verse 2]
Here comes just another day that's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath it's dying away
[Chorus]
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Ooh yeah
[Break]
Drifting away
You see me slipping away
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
All I want is ecstasy
But I ain't getting much
Just getting off on misery
It seems I've lost my touch
[Verse 3]
Well, it's just another song but it's slipping away
Well we didn't sing it long 'cause it's fading away
[Chorus]
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
[Outro]
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
I just can't keep on hold on, baby
Slipping away
Drifting
Slipping away
Slipping away
Just slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
