Slip Sliding Away Songtext / Lyric

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip sliding 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 is so overpowering

I'm afraid that I will disappear”



Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip sliding 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”



Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're 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 headed home again



Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip sliding away



God only knows, God makes his plan

The informations unavailable to the mortal man

We work our jobs collect our pay

Believe were gliding down the highway

When in fact were slip sliding away



Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip sliding away



Slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination

The more you're slip sliding away, mm
