Lyrics
SLIPPING AWAY, Words & Music Susan Nikas
The threads that bind your heart to mine
Carefully placed, yet hard to define
Invisible, but stronger than twine
My safety net against the passage of time
I watch the news come on the TV
Another famous life ends tragically
Wealth and Fame gave no guarantee
All her hopes and dreams have just slipped away
The threads that bind your heart to mine
Carefully placed, yet hard to define
Invisible, but stronger than twine
My safety net against the passage of time
Psychics can't foretell for you
When your life is nearly through
Years from now, or just out of view
With things left undone, that you wanted to do
The threads that bind your heart to mine
Carefully placed, yet hard to define
Invisible, but stronger than twine
My safety net against the passage of time
So I thank you for these precious ties
That keep me safe each day
The ties that bind my heart to yours
And keep me from slipping away
And keep me from slipping away
