Spirit Slips Away [extended Version Take 4] Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

When the spirit slips away 

There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say 

May the angels be watching over you 

When your spirit slips away 

When the darkness starts to fall 

You're on your own and your back's against the wall 

May the angels bring their flame to you 

When the darkness it starts to fall 

And when the music that makes you blue 

Unfolds its secrets, the mysteries are told to you 

May the angels sing rejoice to you 

That fateful day when your spirit slips away
