Lyrics

Let It Slip Away Copyright 2009
Gregory L. Garrett
Verse I:
I know you thought the years would never slip away.
I know you thought you'd be oblivious to age.
And, underneath the promise of another setting sun,
Your face grows older as it faces toward the light.
You have given up your vision.

Verse II:
Way before you thought you had to run to hold your ground,
You were resting in the darkness, with the feeling you had found.
We always wait too long before we see we're running late.
There's always time to start, still time to consecrate.

Pre-Chorus:

But, now the feeling's gone and broken dreams remain.
And, now the child's grown and you're rolling in disdain.
You have given up your vision.


Chorus:
You know, you let it slip away,
Let it slip so far,
Far from your life.
You know you're older everyday.
Time's a razor blade,
Cutting years like a knife.



Pre-Chorus:

But, now the feeling's gone and broken dream's remain.
And, now the child's grown,
And you're rolling in disdain.
You have given up your vision.


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
You know, you'll never recapture
All of the rapture
All of the hope you put in your dreams
You let slip away,
With your fears and your tears
Falling like rain....


( Final Chorus Vamp)
