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 Delores
|
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 work our jobs
|
Collect our pay
|
Believe we're gliding down the highway
|
When in fact we're slip slidin' away
|
|
