Walk in a landscaped garden Where silent figures stare Unfinished wine on the tables A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away Breathing slowly, he can taste the air A bitter taste, he has never known before He calls his friends to a final meeting A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away Gaze out on a river Stare out over a town A cigarette glows in the gutter A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away Breathing slowly, he can taste the air A bitter taste, he has never known before He calls his friends to a final meeting A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away A lifetime just slipped away from here
