Ultravox! — Slip Away lyrics

Lyrics

Enter me gently
I break in the light
Cover my eyes
With the rags of my life
Was I dreaming?
Or did you say
«The frontiers are falling
It’s time to be slipping away
Let’s slip away, let’s slip away»
All things fall from me The bonds and the veils
All things blow by me My sorrows have sails
Was I dreaming?
Or did you say
«The empires are fading
It’s time to be slipping away
Let’s slip away, 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 takes its place
Color my eyes
With the dusk of this wonderful day
Let’s slip away, let’s slip away
Letters from lovers
Are lining my grave
Some came too early
And some came too late
Were you speaking?
Or did I say
«The frontiers have fallen
It’s time to be slipping away»
«As you call me My hands they fall open
My mouth, it is frozen
The stumbles
I’m falling slow-motion, dissolve»
