Cirque du Soleil Lyrics
"Slipping Away"

Une éternité,
cerclée de poussière,
perce l'éphémère.
Des jours fragiles
et nuits sans défense,
la roue tournero.

The night falls heavy on my body
whenever I watch you lying next to me.
Feels like you've gone somewhere without me,
lost in a world of dreams where I can never be.

The whispers of a secret lover,
calling you over to the other side.
Another waiting in the shadows,
until the morning breaks the spell of night.

I feel you slipping away,
I feel you slipping away,
I'd really like you to stay,
I feel you slipping away,
so far away.

The things we never tell each other,
all the words unsaid when we're together,
I wish you knew what I was thinking,
I lie here hoping as you keep on dreaming.

I feel you slipping away,
I feel you slipping away,
I'd really like you to stay,
I feel you slipping away.
Why can't you,
why can't you stay?
