Slips Away
Is it ready to go and fly?
said one brother to another
that night
He nodded and they sailed away
past the sun, past the stars
past the sky
Night turns to day, time slips away
In the great city of to the east
they sweat and they strive
to the sky
Time flies and cultures die
but to the east they live
to this day
Smile as they, time slips away
Seize the day and seize the night
read the cover of the book
he held
He gave it to his darling wife
to bad she died
the next day
Death they must pay, time slips away
