There you go, slipping away into a state of graceI know the look that comes across your faceIt's so familiar to meHere I am, trying to keep you in my line of sightI'm never certain that you read me rightSometimes you don't want to see meHere we are, both of us know we're in loveBut that isn't always enoughI never could rise above it all, down I fallBut darling there you go, slipping away into a state of graceGranted, this world is not a perfect placeStill it's the world that I'm inHere I am talking while you don't hear a word I sayKnowing you're watching me from far awaySomewhere that I've never beenDon't you see, you lived a different life than meIt don't mean you have to be afraid of howWe're not the same, don't leave me nowBut darling there you go, slipping awayHow can I get you to stay where you areKeep you from going too farHolding you here is so hard to do...I'm losing youAnd darling there you go, slipping away into a state of graceDrifting away into your sacred placeSomeplace that I've never beenThere you go, slipping away, slipping away into a state of graceThere you go, slipping away into a state of graceYeah, drifting away into that sacred placeFADE:There you go...slipping away...Submitted by Michael Hack
