Slip Slidin` Away — текст песни (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 Dolores
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

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 fa-ther
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
Mmm...
