Guess it’s just another dream
That’s slipping away
Each time I fall asleep
It seems I’m just drifting away
Just as yo 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
We 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
