Slip Slidin' Away - Paul Simon

Slip slidin away

Slip slidin away

You know the nearer your destination

The more youre 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 delores

I live in fear

My love for yous so overpowering

Im afraid that I will disappear

Slip slidin away

Slip slidin away

You know the nearer your destination

The more youre 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

Aint got no rain

She said a bad days 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 youre slip slidin away

And I know a fa-ther

Who had a son

He longed to tell him all the reasons

For the things hed 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 youre slip slidin away

God only knows

God makes his plan

The informations unavailable

To the mortal man

We work our jobs

Collect our pay

Believe were gliding down the highway

When in fact were slip slidin away

Slip slidin away

Slip slidin away

You know the nearer your destination

The more youre slip slidin away

Slip slidin away

You know the nearer your destination

The more youre slip slidin away

Mmm…
