There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
  I know the look that comes across your face
  It's so familiar to me
  Here I am, trying to keep you in my line of sight
  I'm never certain that you read me right
  Sometimes you don't want to see me
    Here we are, both of us know we're in love
  But that isn't always enough
  I never could rise above it all, down I fall
    But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
  Granted, this world is not a perfect place
  Still it's the world that I'm in
  Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say
  Knowing you're waatching me from far away
  Somewhere that I've never been
    Don't you see, you lived a different life than me
  It doesn't mean you have to be afraid of how
  We're not the same, don't leave me now
    But darling there you go, slipping away
    How can I get you to stay where you are
  Keep you from going to far
  Holding you here is so hard to do...I'm losing you
    And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
  Drifting away into your sacred place
  Someplace that I've never been
  There you go, slipping away, slipping away into a state of grace
  There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
  There you go...drifting away...
