Slip Away Lyrics - The Island Years - Ultravox

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 [Incomprehensible] stumbles 

I'm falling slow-motion, dissolve"
