3. Hopelessly Slipping Away (4:28)
- The Storyteller: Tom Baker -
Abby returns home, wracked by guilt and shame
Daniel's last last cries of "Why? Why?" echo endlessly in her mind
She is broken. Hopeless. Inconsolable
It seems to her there is only one way out
But then
A strange sensation comes over her
- Abby: Cammie Gilbert -
Am I imagining you're near?
I can feel you all around me
Can you let me know you're here
Please set me
Free
- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
How innocent you are
If only I could let you know
So near and yet so far
So warm and yet so
Cold
- Abby and Daniel: Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik -
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away
- Abby: Cammie Gilbert -
My time on Earth is through
I've nothing left worth living for
I yearn to be with you
I ask for nothing
More
- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
I came back to let you know
I'm sorry I ever doubted you
But you must try to let me go
And start your life anew
- Abby and Daniel: Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik -
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away
- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
I feel I'm slipping
- Abby and Daniel: Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik -
Hopelessly slipping away
Abby returns home, wracked by guilt and shame
Daniel's last last cries of "Why? Why?" echo endlessly in her mind
She is broken. Hopeless. Inconsolable
It seems to her there is only one way out
But then
A strange sensation comes over her
- Abby: Cammie Gilbert -
Am I imagining you're near?
I can feel you all around me
Can you let me know you're here
Please set me
Free
- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
How innocent you are
If only I could let you know
So near and yet so far
So warm and yet so
Cold
- Abby and Daniel: Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik -
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away
- Abby: Cammie Gilbert -
My time on Earth is through
I've nothing left worth living for
I yearn to be with you
I ask for nothing
More
- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
I came back to let you know
I'm sorry I ever doubted you
But you must try to let me go
And start your life anew

Hopelessly slipping away
- Daniel: Tommy Karevik -
I feel I'm slipping

Hopelessly slipping away
