[Chorus:]
|
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
|
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
|
|
Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I know a woman, (who) 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 is when I lie in the bed
|
And I think of things that might have been
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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 he headed home again
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
|
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
|
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
|
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
