Slip Away Silently

Slip away silently
Fall out of my arms
You're only six feet underneath me
And you're so far away

I wonder why it ended this way
Oh what other wonderful tricks can fate play

Slip away silently
Look past this icy breath
Then you'll find me

You're only six feet under
Why are you so far away
Who you are and your body
Aren't always in the same place

When I close my eyes and finally get to sleep
You're always in my dreams

And I wonder
Would like to know
That she was at you're funeral

She didn't do much there
Looked at you're coffin, uttered a prayer

A tired old line about ashes and dust
And wishing she had been there for you sooner

Slip away silently
Ain't Heaven where we all want to be?
Slip away silently
Six feet is so far under me
