Slip Away

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
