State of Grace — текст песни (Billy Joel)

There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
I know the look that comes across your face
It`s so familiar to me
Here I am, trying to keep you in my line of sight
I`m never certain that you read me right
Sometimes you don`t want to see me

Here we are, both of us know we`re in love
But that isn`t always enough
I never could rise above it all, down I fall

But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place
Still it`s the world that I`m in
Here I am talking while you don`t hear a word I say
Knowing you`re waatching me from far away
Somewhere that I`ve never been

Don`t you see, you lived a different life than me
It doesn`t mean you have to be afraid of how
We`re not the same, don`t leave me now

But darling there you go, slipping away

How can I get you to stay where you are
Keep you from going to far
Holding you here is so hard to do...I`m losing you

And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Drifting away into your sacred place
Someplace that I`ve never been
There you go, slipping away, slipping away into a state of grace
There you go, slipping away into a state of grace
There you go...drifting away...
