Slip Away - Laurie Anderson

What's this a little dust in my eye

Well I'm not the type to cry

It's four AM I'm standing by the bed where you lie

Sleeping the sleep of the newborn

Put my finger to your lips warm air

Five AM 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 ooo 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

Ooo then they slip away into the remains of the day

Ooo they slip away they slip away

I'm thinking how you taught me how to win

And how to loose

And how to fight the crippling blues that I was born with

Bad dreams and nightmares

Ooo they slip away ooo 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

Ooo they slip away into the remains of the day

Ooo 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 ooo then you slipped away you slipped away
