Slip Away - Live At The Rainbow Theatre, London, UK / 1977
Enter me gently, I break in the light
Cover my eyes with the rags of my life
Were you speaking? Or did I say
"The empires are fading, it's time to be slipping away"?
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Letters from lovers are lining my grate
Some came too early and some came too late
Were you speaking? Or did I say
"The empires are fading, it's time to be slipping away"?
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Hey, hey, let's slip away
What am I to do? Don't leave me
What is there to say? I really...
We're just wasting time
Let the night take its place
Cover my eyes with the dusk of this wonderful day
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Hey, hey, let's slip away
All things fall from me, the bonds and the veil
All things blow by me, my sorrows have sails
Were you speaking? Or did I say
"The empires are fading, it's time to be slipping away"?
When you call me
My hands, they fall open
My mouth, it is frozen
The chrysalis crumbles
I fall in slow motion
Dissolve
Cover my eyes with the rags of my life
Were you speaking? Or did I say
"The empires are fading, it's time to be slipping away"?
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Letters from lovers are lining my grate
Some came too early and some came too late
Were you speaking? Or did I say
"The empires are fading, it's time to be slipping away"?
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Hey, hey, let's slip away
What am I to do? Don't leave me
What is there to say? I really...
We're just wasting time
Let the night take its place
Cover my eyes with the dusk of this wonderful day
Hey, hey, let's slip away
Hey, hey, let's slip away
All things fall from me, the bonds and the veil
All things blow by me, my sorrows have sails
Were you speaking? Or did I say
"The empires are fading, it's time to be slipping away"?
When you call me
My hands, they fall open
My mouth, it is frozen
The chrysalis crumbles
I fall in slow motion
Dissolve
