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, "DoloresI live in fearMy love for you's so overpoweringI'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 |
|
And I know a woman |
|
Became a wife |
|
These are the very words she uses |
|
To describe her life |
|
She said, "A good dayAin't got no rain" |
|
She said, "A bad day's when I lie in bedAnd 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 |
|
He slipped slidin' |
|
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 in our jobs |
|
Collect our pay |
|
Believe we're gliding down the highway |
|
When in fact we're slip slidin' away |
|
Slip slidin' away |
|
Slip slidin' away |
|
You know, the nearer your destination |
|
The more you're slip slidin' away |
|
Slip slidin' away |
|
Slip slidin' away |
|
You know, the nearer your destination |
|
The more you're slip slidin' away |
