Down inside the darkness You don't know it feels A warm hand on your shoulder The cold under your heels they run Moon lights up the highway That wanders thru my head Some friends I've come to know Have disappeared or they're gone Slip away Slip away Where did you go, I just don't know Slip away Slip away I need you here, don't disappear All these things we love don't let them slip away The mysteries of living The wonder of a child The shadows of the evening The ghosts of days gone by they run Slip away Slip away Where did you go, I just don't know Slip away Slip away I need you here, don't disappear All these things we love don't let them slip away And I'd love to see you just one time before I have to go And I'd love to hold you but it seems it is my time to go And all these things we have, don't let them slip away Down inside the darkness You don't know it feels A warm hand on my shoulder The cold under my heels they run .
