Before you slip away
And sleep
The moon is full
My cup is dry
We have until
The echoes die
When each hello
Could be goodbye
Each word we choose
Lays bare the night
Time passed us by
Now there's no more tomorrows
There's no need to say
We tried or we're sorry
Just hold both my hands
Before you close your eyes
Tonight
Tonight
We're
In and out of time
Where the earth and moon combine
I don't want to fall asleep
When time is short, and
Feelings deep, and
All our words have lost meaning
There's no need to say
We tried or we're sorry
Just hold both my hands
Before you slip away
And sleep
