While They’re All Talking

[Verse 1]

While they're all talkin'

While they're all thinkin' of things to say

While the door is still open

We could slip away

Even though the cold rain is fallin'

Even though your friends are on their way

Even though they all might be wonderin'

We could slip away

I know a place where the trees lean together

I know a woods they forgot to take away

We could be standing under the green branches

We could go astray

What is that magic perfume that you're wearin'?

What is that magic air I hear?

We could bе standing out in the dark garden

We could disappеar

And I won't harm you, I would never hurt you, love

I'll walk beside you in the clear air

We could be walking down by the dark river

We could disappear

Maybe tomorrow when we are forgetting

We'll forget that we ever came this way

We'll forget that we ever even noticed

That the door was open and that we might slip away

That the door was open and that we go astray

I'm going to rise up smilin' in the mornin'

I'm going to rise up and collect my pay

And when I'm old, when I'm old and grey

I'll remember the day

While they're all talkin'

While they're all thinkin' of things to say

While the door is still open

We could slip away
