Lyrics

oooooh...

The sky and the water are as one
They cover the sand in setting sun
And it’s hushed for a moment as a voice says please don’t move
I want you to watch me as I leave

Slip away
O ka mea ua hala, ua hala ia
What is gone is gone
Slip away
The stillness of the bay
Slip away
There’s no good in asking you to stay

oooooh...

You slide into bed so unafraid
Your eyes show the colors evening shade
And your day falls from you as your lids come down
Your arms loose around me and you’re gone

Slip away
O ka mea ua hala, ua hala ia
What is gone is gone
Slip away
I loved you today
Slip away
There’s no good in asking you to stay

oooooh...

I’ve been both betrayer and betrayed
I’ve helped new life grow and friendship fade
But every night I know I must put away each thing I’ve done
And say a sweet aloha to the sun

Slip away
O ka mea ua hala, ua hala ia
What is gone is gone
Slip away
Back to Ke’e
Slip away
There’s no good in asking you to stay

O ka mea ua hala, ua hala ia
What is gone is gone
Slip away
I loved you today
Slip away
There’s no good in asking you to stay

oooooh...
