Slipping Away

From the moment of flower decay takes place
still we feel forever young
but the joy and pain shows in our faces
and in the wisdom of our tongues

Relocate my dreams, rearrange my plans
so they fit more where I am
and I look behind instead of where I stand
ahead is dammed

chorus:
I can feel it slipping away
I can feel it slipping away
with every single heartbeat, the fire, it tires
it's youth, slipping away

The song on the airwaves confirms my age
'cause it ain't what it used to be
and the world speeds up and fuels my rage
'cause I can't trust what I see

The blossoms I once used to hunt
are still sweet, but can't be touched
I can smell the spring, but ahead lies autumn
and I know I shouldn't dream so much

repeat chorus:

Innocence, it dies in May
and the summer bakes in age
but you've got so far to go
why are you slowing down
has the world stopped spinning 'round

Though we slip and slide through the streets of life
keep in mind, there's sun ahead
it'll dry the roads and heal the strife
still, we know not where we're led

repeat chorus:

I can feel it slipping away
I can feel it slipping away  
I can feel it slipping away…
