Easy to Slip Away

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My friends, I never really thought you'd go But, then, we know that's the way it happens here Now time is like cat's cradle in my hands: And I gather up the strands much too slowly [Verse 2] The refugees are gone... They take their separate paths Obliterate the past, figures in an ash shroud Susie, I guess you're on your way to be a star But I don't know where you are; The only time I seem to see you is on the TV [Chorus] Yes, it's so easy just to slip away... [Bridge] And Mike! It's a year or two since I've seen you... I might have dropped you a line If I'd had time Or the will [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] It's my fault too: I play a hermit's role Of cars and stages, wages, supersoul Hardly ever seem to get outside these days And so, dear friends, as we grow on we feel to grow away Can only live in the hope that some day it will all return [Chorus] But it's so easy to slip away... Easy to slip away...
