lip 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 
 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/paul+simon/slip+slidin+away_20105975.html ] 
 Slip slidin' away 
 Slip slidin' away 
 You know the nearer your destination 
 The more you're slip slidin' away 
 
 And I know a fa-ther 
 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 
 
 Slip slidin' away 
 Slip slidin' away 
 You know the nearer your destination 
 The more you're slip slidin' away 
 
 Slip slidin' away 
 You know the nearer your destination 
 The more you're slip slidin' away 
 Mmm...
