Chorus: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 |
|
ChorusI 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 |
|
ChorusAnd |
|
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 |
|
ChorusWhoah |
|
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 |
|
Chorus repeats 2x |
