Lyrics

Slip sliding away Slip sliding away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip sliding away Whoa, and I know a man, he came from my home town He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown He said, "Dolores, 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 not rain" She said, "A bad day's when I lie in 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'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 he headed home again Slip sliding away Slip sliding away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip sliding away Whoa, God only knows, God makes his plan The information's unavailable to the mortal man We're working 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're slip sliding away Slip sliding away Slip sliding away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip sliding away Alright!
