Members moody Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 I know this isn't really bass related, but this is where I know (and I don't want to go onto some random other forum with a bunch of strangers to ask a simple question). I'm looking for the lyrics for a song called either slipping away or slippin away I believe. Not sure who it's by but for some reason I just can't find it online. I do have a midi file, but can't find the lyrics??? The first few words are 'baby I've been watching you, watching all the things you do, and I just can't help the feeling, something else is stealing you away from me, I see it written in your eyes' At about that point my knowledge of the lyrics fails. Can anyone help me at all? Even just with who sings it if not the full lyrics.
Members MageZ Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 There's Slipping Away by Black Sabbath (Mob Rules album), but it has different lyrics IIRC.

I was finding various other songs with similar names. It's a popular song I swear. Here's a zip file of the midi.

Members timmerz Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 Moody, the "can see it in your eyes" almost triggers something in my memory banks, let me sit on this one for awhile, let it percolate, see what pops....Sorry I can't help right away...the midi didn't do me any good, didn't recognize anything at all.... Any idea at all of how old the song might be? 90's? 80's?

The chorus is ohhh slipping away from me x2and it's breaking me in two, watching you slipping away.

Damn, there it is again..."breaking me in two" almost did it for me again....Not the Little River Band, you don't think, is it? That vein of rock, maybe?

Members moody Posted December 27, 2005 Author Members Posted December 27, 2005 ok Gotta go to work now... I might have a lead though?? Slipstream by sherbet?? Still can't find lyrics.

So far, the only thing I've found that might be close is from an album by "V" called "Better Late Than Never", but I don't recall hearing this before...take a listen:http://launch.yahoo.com/track/8285588
