Chorus:
Slip slidin' away
slip sliidn' away
you now 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 sad Delores
I live in fear
my love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Chorus
I know a woman
became a wife
these are the very words she uses
to describe her life
she says a good day
ain't got no rain
she says a bad day when I lie in bed
and think of things that might have been
Chorus
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
Chorus
God only knows
God makes his plan
the information's unavailable
to the mortal man
we work our jobs
collect our pay
belive we're glidin' down the highway
when in fact we're slip slidin' away
