Kathryn Calder - Slip Away lyrics

Read a story from your sleep You'll tell me everything I need to know Turn in thread into a verse We sit and watch the Fall return to earth Quietly as autumn comes The days are getting shorter One by one Waiting here for you Spinning on a shelf I'm wasting my time waiting for myself Hide my hands behind my back My fingertips, they hold a secret I have to hold it lightly though Be very careful not to break it I'm holding on to something lost I should just let go and move on When I'm fast asleep It flutters in my palm And by the time I wake up it is gone Slips away, slips away Slips away, slips away Slips away, slips away Slips away, slips away Ooh ooh ooh ooh Hide my hands behind my back My fingertips, they hold a secret I have to hold it lightly though Be very careful not to break it I'm holding on to something lost I should just let go and move on When I'm fast asleep It flutters in my palm And by the time I wake up it is gone Slips away, slips away Slips away, slips away Slips away, slips away Slips away, slips away Ooh ooh ooh ooh
