lirik lagu laurie anderson - slip away (live)
what’s this?
a little dust in my eye
well i’m not the type to cry
it’s 4am
i’m standing by the bed where you lie
sleeping the sleep of the newborn
i put finger to your lips
warm air
it’s 5am
you lift your hand and open it
then you slipped away
you slipped away
oh death, that creep, that crooked jerk
he comes, he comes walking
he comes sneaking
down that long irreversible hallway
grabs you in your sleep
i walk outside
to the parking lot
bright coins of water
on the sidewalk
big white building where your body lies
stands in the middle of the fields
icy air
and after all the shocks
the way the heart unlocks
and oooh, we slip away
we slip away
i’m thinking about the way
that lost things
always come back
looking like something else
a fishing pole, a shoe, an old shirt
a lucky day
oooh, then they slip away
into the remains of the day
oooh, they slip away
they slip away
i’m thinking how you taught me how to win
and how to lose
and how to fight
the crippling blues that i was born with
bad dreams and nightmares
oooh, they slip away
oooh, they slip away
into the remains of the day
i know that sometime i’ll stop looking for you
stop seeing your face every day
bad dreams and nightmares and big bad wolves
oooh, they slip away
into the remains of the day
oooh, they slip away
into the remains of the day
they slip away
you told me you had no idea
how to die
but i saw
the way the light left your eyes
and after all the shocks
the way the heart unlocks
and oooh, then you slipped away
you slipped away
