I've Been Slipping |
| I’ve Been Slipping |
| words and music: Detweiler |
| recording: Patience |
| I’ve been slipping down in the grass |
| counting the steps to your back door |
| i’ve been praying you’d see me pass |
| knowing somehow you’ve seen me before |
| i’ve been sighing more than I should |
| spilling my glass there’s ice on the floor |
| but I’ve been busy gathering wood |
| hoping our fire will burn all the more |
| i’ve been stealing hundreds of bells |
| ringing my way along your shore |
| and I’ve been smiling all to myself |
| savouring signs of what’s in store |
| i’ve been climbing branches and vines |
| gathering leaves for long festoons |
| and I’ve been rhyming myriad lines |
| full of your face and the gleam of the moon |
