Lyrics

Away Susan Kane ©2014 BMI

The dead they don’t know what they’re missing
Every day they keep on slipping away
Away, away, away
Hold them in mind, they fly over that wall
Flying so fast they can’t hear you call, fly away

The dead they don’t know what they’re missing
Every day they keep on slipping away
Away, away, away
Go on with your life, cook your meals, make your bed
Tell the face in the picture the things your friends said
Fade away

Everyone crosses that bridge, severs those ties
They leave you behind
The hands of the clock cease to turn
The footprints fill in, the last petal drops

The dead they don’t know what they’re missing
Every day you go on slipping away
Away, away, away
Keep them in mind as you leave them behind every day
And their shades just grow thinner and fainter and dimmer
Fade away, fade away, fade away
