from "Cabin Fever", 1978, Arista Records
Face to face, with midnight and lace Lost completely in your eyes Heart to heart, coming in from worlds apart And taken by surprise Here I am, with one more glass of courage Trying to think the whole thing through Complications and a very strange situation All I know is, one thing I can't do is let you Slip away (I can't let you baby) Slip away (Let you slip away) Slip away (I won't let you darling) Slip away (Let you slip away) I ain't gonna let you slip away Buying time, running through my mind All the feelings that I can't change Next to you, wanting you the way I do No one's playing games Here I am, on the edge again Baby nothing ventured Nothing really learned Now's the time, for changing our minds Cause girl if someone's walkin' No one will get burned But then you would... Slip away (I can't let you baby) Slip away (Let you slip away) Slip away (I won't let you darling) Slip away (Let you slip away) I ain't gonna let you slip away Baby take what you're needing Soon we'll be leaving That's just the way it's got to be I don't want promises I want you here beside me... I just can't let you baby... Slip away (I can't let you baby) Slip away (Let you slip away) Slip away (I won't let you darling) Slip away (Let you slip away) I ain't gonna let you slip away I won't let you, never let you Slip away, slip away to fade
