Enter me gently, I break in the light

Cover my eyes, with the rags of my life

Let's slip away –ay ay

All things blow by me, my sorrows have sails

Chorus 2:

   C     B       C

Bbm       E
What am I to do, Don't leave me

What is there to say, I really...We're just wasting

B   Gb      D       A
Ti-i-i-ime, Let the night take its place

Colour my eyes with the dusk of this wonderful

day –ay ay

Let's slip away –ay ay

Verse 3:

   C      B       C
Were you speaking,   Or did you say

  G       C      D
The frontiers have fallen, it's time to be slipping away

As you call me, My hands they fall open

My mouth it is frozen, The chrysalis tumbles

I'm falling, Slow motion

Dissolve
