"Slipping Away [1996; B-side to "Always Be My Baby" CD single]" Lyrics

(So far, so far, you're slipping away, away)
Slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby I'm so afraid
(So far, so far, you're slipping away, away)
Slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading fast, it seems
You know you're slipping away from me

I keep on reaching and I
I keep on trying
But you never even hold me
And it seems like you don't know me baby

I keep on yearning and I
I guess I'm learning
That it's just a losing fight
'Cause there's no passion in your eyes

(So far, so far, you're slipping away, away)
Slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby I'm so afraid
(So far, so far, you're slipping away, away)
Slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading fast, it seems
You know you're slipping away from me

I keep denying that our
Our love is dying
But it's all a big charade
And it's a fruitless game to play

I can't remember when you
You last were tender
And it's always touch and go
The silence chills me to the bone

(So far, so far, you're slipping away, away)
Slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby I'm so afraid
(So far, so far, you're slipping away, away)
Slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading fast, it seems
You know you're slipping away from me

Away, away, away, away, away
Further further
You're so far

Time after time I reach for you
I try and I try but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby you're slipping away from me (x2)

You're so far

(So far, so far slipping away, away)
Slipping away from what we had
Truly, I just don't understand
You're so far
(So far, so far, slipping away, away)
You're slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading so fast
It seems you know you're slipping away from me

Time after time I reach for you
I try and I try but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be
Baby you're slipping away from me
