From the recording After The Rain
Lyrics
Slippin’ Away
She never asked for an easy ride just a chance to prove herself
Never wanted more from life than happiness and wealth
She had the chance & the dream was there to take it all the way
But she chose the path that led her to the place she is today
And it’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
He always knew the day would come when he’d take it to the top
But he lost control along the way and didn’t know how to stop
Now time passed in the blink of an eye & left him standin’ all alone
Waiting for the dust to clear so he can find his way home
And it’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
And it’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
To many dreams clouded by addictions or love
To many night spent passed out drunk or on drugs
It’s been a hard road & they’ve sacrificed, some would say too much
Time has come and passed them bye, now they’re out of touch
And it’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
And it’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
It’s slippin’ away
