Slipping Away by The Rolling Stones Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Guess it's just another dream that's slipping away
Each time that I fall asleep it seems I'm drifting away

[Chorus]
Just as you have touched my heart
Babe I wake and we're apart
Yeah and it's slipping away

[Verse 2]
Here comes just another day that's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath it's dying away

[Chorus]
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Ooh yeah

[Break]
Drifting away
You see me slipping away
[Chorus]
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

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

[Verse 3]
Well it's just another song but it's slipping away
Well we didn't sing it long 'cause it's fading away

[Chorus]
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away

[Outro]
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
I just can't keep on hold on, baby
Slipping away
Drifting
Slipping away
Slipping away
Just slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
