Song by Paul Simon
Chords By Reneh "sheik" Karamians
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 is 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
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
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 slidin away Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
,,,,,
The more you're slip slidin away
God only knows God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man We work 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
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin away
