Hopelessly Slipping Away

Ayreon Ayreon

[Narrator]
Abby returns home, wracked by guilt and shame
Daniel's last last cries of "Why? Why?" echo endlessly in her mind
She is broken. Hopeless. Inconsolable
It seems to her there is only one way out
But then
A strange sensation comes over her

[Abby]
Am I imagining you're near?
I can feel you all around me
Can you let me know you're here
Please set me... Free

[Daniel]
How innocent you are
If only I could let you know
So near and yet so far
So warm and yet so... Cold

[Abby & Daniel]
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away

[Abby]
My time on Earth is through
I've nothing left worth living for
I yearn to be with you
I ask for nothing... More

[Daniel]
I came back to let you know
I'm sorry I ever doubted you
But you must try to let me go
And start your life anew

[Abby and Daniel]
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away

[Daniel]
I feel I'm slipping

[Abby and Daniel]
Hopelessly slipping away
