Slowly Slipping Away

Download A Soundclip [MP3 format]

There were times I almost got to know you
The barriers were down
So many times I almost got to show you
I could be good to have around

It wasn’t easy on you and me
Thinking things we’d never say
It wasn’t easy but it had to be
Looking at each other slowly slipping away

Yet there were times we got it all together
I could see it in your eyes
Those were the times we seemed to know we’d never
Talk of love and last goodbyes

And we pretended everything would be okay
Even though we knew the end was on the way

And sometimes when life goes on around me
And you are on my mind
Memories silently surround me
Mixed-up thoughts I can’t unwind

The Story Behind The Song
For my brother Christopher who died aged 37. It’s a song about parting, whatever the circumstances.
