Slip Slidin' Away Lyrics - The Essential Paul Simon - Paul Simon

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 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 

And 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 

Slip slidin' away 

Slip slidin' away 

You know the nearer your destination 

The more you're slip slidin' away 

Photos 

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's slip slidin' 

Slip slidin' away 

You know the nearer your destination 

The more you're slip slidin' away 

And 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 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 

Mmm
