Cheviot Bay

Yuri Gagarin went floating out into space

Leaving behind all the trouble of the human race

He went slipping away

He went slipping

Slipping away

Harry he got lost in the water in Cheviot Bay

Swimming in the deep broiling ocean one summer day

He went slipping

He went slipping

Slipping away

Why didn't you tell us (your heart was broken)

Why didn't you say (but you wouldn't say)

You could have told us (alone in the darkness)

You were slipping away

Baby can you hear me now I feel like I'm drifting away

I'm lost beyond the breakers out on Cheviot Bay

cnd I'm slipping

Baby I'm slipping

Slipping away

Help me I'm slipping

Help me I'm slipping

Slipping away

Yuri Gagarin went floating out into space
