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?
