What Are The Lyrics For Slip Away By Laurie Anderson?
What's this?
A little dust in my eye Well I'm not the type to cry It's four a.m. I'm standing by the bed where you lie Sleeping the sleep of the newborn I put [my] finger to your lips. Warm air. Five a.m. You lift your hand and open it. Then you slipped away. You slipped away. Oh death, that creep, that crooked jerk He comes, he comes walking. He comes sneaking Down that long irreversible hallway Grabs you in your sleep I walk outside to the parking lot. Bright coins of water on the sidewalk. Big white building where your body lies Stands in the middle of the fields. Icy air. And after all the shocks the way the heart unlocks And ooo we slip away. We slip away. I'm thinking about the way that lost things always come back Looking like something else A fishing pole, a shoe, an old shirt, a lucky day Oh then they slip away into the remains of the day Oh they slip away. They slip away. I'm thinking how you taught me how to win And how to loose And how to fight the crippling blues that I was born with Bad dreams and nightmares Oh they slip away. Oh they slip away into the remains of the day. I know that sometime I'll stop looking for you. Stop seeing your face every day Bad dreams and nightmares and big bad wolves Oh they slip away into the remains of the day Oh they slip away into the remains of the day They slip away You told me you had no idea how to die but I saw The way the light left your eyes And after all the shocks the way the heart unlocks And oh then you slipped away. You slipped away. |
