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

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
is when I lie in bed
and think of things
that might have been
Slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
You know the nearer
your destination
the more you're
slip sliding 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

You know the nearer
your destination

slip sliding 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 sliding away
Slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
You know the nearer
your destination
the more you're
slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
Slip sliding away
You know the nearer
your destination
