Slipping Away © 2007 Music and Lyrics: Kelli Brinkert and Tom Franz (V1) Cold winds ride alone in winter In the west the sunset shivers We are both sinking low Not so far to go (V2) In the east this fire it rages Steals my written words from pages Like the embers I spark and glow Won’t be long, you know (Chorus) I burn like the fire I fade like the day I wait this dreaded night fall As the shadows run and play I‘m slipping away (V3) Empty places lie between The fondest memories and dreams Which fall like ashen snow Just life’s ebb and flow (V4) Nothing left to leave behind But charred remains of letters unsigned A tale that no one should ever know No one will, you know (Chorus) I burn like the fire I fade like the day I wait this dreaded night fall As the shadows run and play I‘m slipping away
