Hammill Peter - Easy To Slip Away lyrics

My, friends, I never really thought you'd go, But, then, we know that's the way it happens here Now time is like cat's cradle in my hands We gather up the strands much to slowly The refugees are gone... They take their separate paths, Obliterate the past, figures in an ash shroud Susie, I guess you're on your way to be a star, But I don't know where you are, the only time I seem To see you is on T.V. It's so easy just to slip away... Mike! It's a year or two since I've seen you... I might Have dropped you a line if I'd had time Or the will It's my fault too, I play a hermit's role Of cars and stages, wages, super-soul Hardly ever seem to get outside these days So, dear friends, as we grow on we feel to grow away, Can only live in the hope that some day It will all return It's so easy just to slip away...
