My friends, I never really thought you’d go
But, then, we know that’s the way it happens here
Now time is like cat’s cradle in my hands:
Oh, and I gather up the strands much too slowly
The refugees are gone… They take their separate paths
Obliterate the past, figures in an ash shroud
Susie, I guess you’re on your way to be a star
But I don’t know where you are;
And the only time I seem to see you is on the TV
Oh, yes, it’s so easy just to slip away…
And Mike!
It’s a year or two since I’ve seen you…
I might have dropped you a line
If I’d had time
Or the will
It’s my fault too: I play a hermit’s role
Of cars and stages, wages, supersoul
Hardly ever seem to get outside these days
And so, dear friends, as we grow on we feel to grow away
Can only live in the hope that some day it will all return
But it’s so easy to slip away…
Easy to slip away…
