Slipping on Your Way – © 2004 Richard Ruane

 

You tell me darling that your love is pure

That the world would end before you’d ever feel unsure

But it hardly seem to matter what you say

Every day, oh every day

I know you’re only slipping on your way

 

You tell me darling that our love is bright

But I can see you say it just to be polite

Oh it hardly seems to matter what you say

Every day, oh every day

I know you’re only slipping on your way

 

Some people only tell you

What you want to hear

Some people never seem

To make their meaning clear

(darling please now be sincere)

 

Tell me darling, don’t you lead me on

In a year will you be here, or will you be long gone

Oh it hardly seems to matter what you say

Every day, oh every day

I know you’re only slipping on your way

 

Tell me darling, am I wrong or right

To ask you what it is you really feel tonight

Oh it hardly seems to matter what you say

Every day, oh every day

I know you’re only slipping on your way

 

Every day, oh every day

I know you’re only slipping on your way
