Sunday School And Cigarettes (Slippin' Away)

I've been lost in way-back-when, in clothes I'll never wear again

Pony-tails and paper planes and climbing up the tall trees

Thinking back to hide-and-seek, everyday seemed like a week

Sunday school and cigarettes and kissing at the movies

And it's hard cause I really thought that time was moving slowly

But I found out it was only

Slippin' away

One day I found myself with you, saw all my girlhood dreams come true

Still, there're other dreams and nothing lasts forever

I put braids into my hair, but you don't seem to see them there

And in your mind, I think, you're off to California

And it's hard cause I really thought that I was in your vision

Starry eyes, I see that you've been

Slippin' away

We are water, we are the sand the wind blows on

Before we're here, we are gone

gone, gone

So it turns in simple ways, now the weeks go by like days

Where's that little girl? She's gone and so forgotten

And it's strange cause I truly thought that change was nowhere near me

And all the time I was really

Slippin' away
