Slip Slidin` Away - Paul Simon
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your
destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said Dolores
I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your
destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when I lie
in bed
And think of things that might
have been
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your
destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

And I know a father
Who had a son
He longed to tell him all the
reasons
For the things he'd done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay
sleeping
Then he turned around and headed
home again
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your
destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man
We're working our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the
highway
When in fact we're slip slidin'
away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your
destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your
destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Mmm
