Guess it's just another dream that's slipping away
Each time that I fall asleep, it seems I'm drifting awayJust as you have touched my heart
(Baby) I wake (up, baby) and we're apart, yeah
And (It seems) it's slipping away (yeah)Here comes just another day that's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath, it's dying awayFirst the sun and then the moon
One of them will be around soon
Slipping...Ooh yeah
It's all drifting away
It seems it's slipping awayAll I want is ecstasy
But I ain't getting much
Just getting off on misery
It seems I've lost my touchWell it's just another song but it's slipping away
Well we didn't sing it long 'cause it's fading awaySlipping away
I just can't keep on (...) baby
Drifting away, oh yeah
Slipping away (...)
