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 Verse 2: 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 the darkness it starts to fall Solo I’ve written this out phrase by phrase so you can work on each part individually
