Lyrics Slip Away - Mumford & Sons

Slip Away

No more questions no more lies
Do a deal for no surprises
Cos you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
Waiting patient for the sun to rise
It reveals a stoic smile
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
You’ll find me waiting here for you
Come and suffer here
You’ll find me holding my breath for you
Come and suffer here
In the violence of a mind’s eye
We had a deal for no surprises
Cos you will never slip away
Slip away in the night
But you’re not yourself
I know you better than you
But you’re not yourself
I know you better than you
You’ll find me holding my breath for you
It’s never more than I can take
I wouldn’t have it any other way
You’ll find me on my knees for you
It’s never more than I can take
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Go gently now
Be still
And love
Go gently now
Be still
And love
Go gently now
Be still
You find me holding my breath for you
It’s never more than I can take
I wouldn’t have it any other way
You’ll find me on my knees for you
It’s never more than I can take
I wouldn’t have it any other way
But you’re not yourself
I know you better than you
And you’re not yourself
I know you better than you
