Slip Slidin Away lyrics

Chorus:

Slip slidin away

Slip slidin away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip sliding 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

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

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

God only knows, God makes his plan

The information is 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
