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
