Spirit slips away

When the spirit slips away There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say May the angels be watching over you When your spirit slips away When the darkness starts to fall You're on your own and your back's against the wall May the angels bring their flame to you When your spirit slips away And when the music that makes you blue Unfolds its secrets, the mysteries are told to you May the angels sing rejoice to you That fateful day when your spirit slips away
