SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS (HYPERTECHNO SPED UP)

作曲：Declan McKenna

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent minded smile

I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her forever

Oh I'm never really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes

Her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone

There's that old melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to our wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go

What some of that we did but most we didn't

And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could phrase the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of

Time slipping through my fingers
