Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away |
|
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away |
|
And I know a man, he came from my home town |
|
He wore this bad shirt for his woman like a thorny crown |
|
He said, "Dolores, I live in fear" "My love for you is so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear" |
|
He's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away |
|
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away |
|
And I know a woman, became a wife |
|
These are the very words she uses to describe her life |
|
She says, "A good day ain't got not rain" |
|
She said, "A bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might've been" |
|
She's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away |
|
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away |
|
You're slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away |
|
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away |
|
Mmhmmm 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 and he turned around and headed home again |
|
He's slip-sliding, slip-sliding away |
|
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away |
|
Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away |
|
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away |
