Slipping Away lyrics - The Rolling Stones song

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Guess it's just another dream
That's slipping away
Each time that I fall asleep
It seems I'm just drifting away
Just as you have touched my heart
Babe I wake up and we're apart, yeah
And it's slipping away

Here comes just another day
That's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath
It's dying away
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be around soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Drifting away
Slipping away

Just as you have touched my heart
I wake up babe and we're apart
It seems we're slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

All I want is ecstacy
But I ain't getting much
Just getting off on misery
It seems I've lost my touch

Well it's just another song
But it's slipping away
Well we didn't sing it long
'Cos it's fading away
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
