<b>Slide Away</b> by <i>Folk Soul Revival</i><br />

V1

Don't look in my eyes and please don't be surprised when I go

‘Cause I've been watching you smile for a while now… thought you should know

And I've been singing to you for a good while, now it's time that I go.

V2

There's people born naturally goodÂ… and there's some, you just don't know

They say “You can't lie to Jesus, and your drinkin' has just got to go.”

Whoa, they say that “You can't lie to Jesus, and your drinkin' has just got to go.”

Chorus

You know the river only flows one direction,

While it's a fight upstream for your heart and your affection

Oh and I can't write the words to make it better

But the fear that comes from losing makes it harder not to let her slide away

Let her slide away

Let her slide away

Let her slide away

V3

So come to me now while the hours are still left in the day

‘Cause our time goes by quickly and who knows when it goes away

Whoa you know our time goes by quickly and who knows when it goes away

Chorus

You know the river only flows in one direction,

While it's a fight upstream for your heart and your affection

Oh and I can't write the words to make it better

But the fear that comes from losing makes it harder not to let her slide away

Let her slide away

Let her slide away

Let her slide away

Bridge

I hold on to this bottle like a friend that it is to me now

“Cause we've all got our secrets and our weaknesses can be overcome

Hmm mmm, now, we've all got our secrets and our weaknesses can be overcome

Chorus

You know the river only flows in one direction,

While it's a fight upstream for your heart and your affection

Oh and I can't write the words to make it better

But the fear that comes from losing makes it harder not to let her slide away

Let her slide away

Let her slide away

Let her slide away
