Simon, Garfunkel - Slip Slidin' Away lyrics
[Simon, Garfunkel - Slip Slidin' Away lyrics]
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
Whoah and I know a man
He came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his
Woman like a thorny crown
He said dolores, I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
I know a woman (who) 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 is when I lie in the bed
And I think of things that might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding 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
He headed home again
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to
The mortal man
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
Whoah and I know a man
He came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his
Woman like a thorny crown
He said dolores, I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
I know a woman (who) 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 is when I lie in the bed
And I think of things that might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding 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
He headed home again
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to
The mortal man
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you slip sliding away
