Slide Away - Ade Fenton, Gary Numan

The low road whispers

'come to me,'

Silent mother

Cries for me

The shadow’s reaching

Pull at me

Help me father

Speak to me

It’s unrelenting

It’s unforgiving

I want to tell you

I want to hold you

Slide away

I need someone to blame

There’s nothing left of your beauty

I don’t feel you inside me

Slide away

I need to feel your pain

You lost your soul to the heavens;

Don’t ask for redemption

The skies are bleeding

Patiently

Dead love’s losing

Purity

The fire is burning

Inside me

Love is blinding

Forgive me

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me?

I want to tell you

I want to hold you

Slide away

I need someone to blame

There’s nothing left of your beauty

I don’t feel you inside me

Slide away

I need to feel your pain

You lost your soul to the heavens;

Don’t ask for redemption
