Slip Slidin' Away Lyrics


Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' awayI 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's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappearSlip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' awayI 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 beenSlip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' awayAnd 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 againHe's slip slidin'
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' awayGod 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' awaySlip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' awaySlip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Mmm

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He first gained world-wide recognition as the writing talent behind the popular American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel formed with fellow musician Art Garfunkel. When Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970, Simon quickly began his solo career with the release of the self-titled album, Paul Simon. This was followed by There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years, both of which featured chart-topping hits such as Loves Me Like A Rock and Kodachrome. In 1986 Simon released the immensely popular Graceland, which featured the groundbreaking use of African rhythms and performers Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In 1990, he followed up Graceland with the successor album The Rhythm of the Saints which featured Brazilian and Cajun musical themes. These albums helped to popularize world music as a genre.

He co-wrote the unsuccessful, but critically-acclaimed musical The Capeman with Nobel-winning poet Derek Walcott in 1997. His most recent album, Surprise, was produced by Brian Eno.

Paul Simon still tours occasionally, both as a solo artist and with his old musical partner Art Garfunkel. He is married to Edie Brickell.

In 1994 Paul Simon held 14 sold out concerts in Nantes (France) with International professional fusion players: Nino Manore (Italy), Francis Mc Gowan (UK), Gissele Masarde (France), Nikša Sviličić (Croatia), and others.
