Teksty: Eleanor Mcevoy. Early Hours. Slipping Away.


Someone said they?d light a candle
Another said they?d say a prayer
It would take more than that to save him now
It would take more than that somehow
The nights go by so slowly
Suffering robs him of his sleep
He rescues what little life is in his hands
Taking what comfort he can

Slipping away, oh how he?s suffering with it
Slipping away, how hard it?s been
Saving the life he can save
Drinking every aching mouthful
Slipping away
Slipping like sand through your hand

Heaven holds no higher promise
Than release and sweet relief
Even relief would be a blessing now
Even release would help somehow
Kiss good-bye to sounds of weeping
Kiss good-bye to tears of pain
And if you can pray then pray for what he?d chose
Cause there?s not a God that would refuse

Slipping away, oh how he?s suffering with it
Slipping away, how hard it?s been
Saving the life he can save
Drinking every aching mouthful
Slipping away
Slipping like sand through your hand

Slipping away, oh how he?s suffering with it
Slipping away, how hard it?s been
Saving the life he can save
Drinking every aching mouthful
Slipping away
Slipping like sand through your hand

Slipping away, oh, Slipping away
