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
