Colour fading from the morning sky I've lost the inclination to perform Love didn't stand a chance and neither did I So I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn Or maybe I'm self-seeking or maybe seeking for myself But it leaves me crying, weeping and for long Never more to dance with chance or circumstance, am I? I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn And there's no such thing as unexpected turbulence Everybody is weathering the storm From this moment on I ain't gonna ride it out alone on my own I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn ♪ You promised more than fleeting empty pleasure I need permanence and peace to keep me warm The things of this world ain't the ones to treasure So I'm slipping on through the cracks of dawn Well, I can't believe that I nearly lost my soul completely You looked so good but I was just your pawn You slipped the dagger in and you smiled so sweetly So I'm slipping on through the cracks of dawn Now the melody of life is there to greet me There's a soothing measured rhythm to the song Every little piece just fits so neatly Now I'm slipping through the cracks of dawn
