You couldn't paint the picture
you couldn't find the words,
You couldn't make it up to her oh
you could only make things worse.
So you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
You couldn't catch up with her
she was too fast for you.
You couldn't find the answer,
oh there was sweet nothing you could do.
So you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
Yeah you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
Oh what a time to go, knee deep in snow.
Oh wherever the wind blows, you can go.
You couldn't draw the picture
you couldn't find the words,
You couldn't make it up to her oh
you could only make things worse.
So you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
Yeah you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You took a holiday.
you couldn't find the words,
You couldn't make it up to her oh
you could only make things worse.
So you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
You couldn't catch up with her
she was too fast for you.
You couldn't find the answer,
oh there was sweet nothing you could do.
So you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
Yeah you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
Oh what a time to go, knee deep in snow.
Oh wherever the wind blows, you can go.

So you slipped away, you took a holiday.
You slipped away, you took a holiday.
