An SWR Duet…!

[Fletch]

Slip Away

I’ve had enough of pain, struggles and the screams
I can’t cope anymore, living with our dreams
I’ve tried so hard to be there, tried hard just for you
Lived through the torment, lived everything we knew

I’ve fought to be strong, but the hurts extreme
All hope now has gone, just existing in routine
Maybe things will change, maybe a reprieve
Don’t give up on us, there’s still time to believe

I know you’ve always been there
Say your prayers, as I slip away
Now I can chose, my own way
Then raise a glass, to remember me
Don’t forget, I’m where I wanna be

I can’t tell what’s real anymore, I know I’m getting worse
The meds blur reality, as my dignity deserts
Not everything has changed, I’m still in love with you
This time was not wasted, it’s all we could do

I know you scared, I know your heart will grieve
But we know it’s for the best, it’s time for me to leave
And you’re scared to, I can’t start to understand
But please let me be with you, let me hold your hand

I know you’ve always been there
Say your prayers, leave a bouquet
Raise a glass, as I slip away
Then light a candle, to remember me
And scatter my ashes, where I want to be

Scatter my ashes, where I want to be
