Dreams Slip Away
Lyrics and music by Wendy DeMos

She wakes up in the morning, grabs a coffee
Now what’s she got to do today
There’s lunches to be made, the kids need better grades
And the boss wants that report by noon
It’s like being pulled in this way and being pulled in that
It’s hard to get your balance
When you’re racing to catch up

If you don’t find a way
If you don’t make it pay
If you don’t, aye, aye, aye
If you don’t make it last
If you don’t make it fast
If you don’t, aye, aye, aye

A younger girl, in younger times
When hopes and passion seemed amplified
Then this came and that before long she got stuck
On a treadmill to simply survive
It's like waking to last night’s dinner still trapped on the plate
Too tired to clean
Too empty to face

If you don’t find a way
If you don’t make it pay
If you don’t, aye aye aye
If you don’t make it last
If you don’t make it fast
If you don’t, aye aye aye
As dreams slip
As dreams slip
Slip away

It’s not a regret, the kids they're the best
All she had back when he went away
It’s just that she wishes there was an end to the dishes
And a time for her own soul to play
To play
To play …

If you don’t find a way
If you don’t make it pay
If you don’t, aye aye aye
If you don’t make it last
If you don’t make it fast
If you don’t, aye aye aye
If you don't make it pay
If you don't make it stay
If you don't, aye aye aye
Words ringing in her ears
It’s all she hears.
That’s all, aye aye aye
As dreams slip
As dreams slip
Slip away
Dreams
Slip away
