Slip-Sliding Away Lyrics

Aqualung

Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination
The more you're slip-sliding away

And I know a man, he came from my home town
He wore this bad shirt
For his woman like a thorny crown
He said, 'Dolores, I live in fear'
'My love for you is so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear'

He's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination
The more you're slip-sliding away

And 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 not rain'
She said, 'A bad day is when I lie in bed
And think of things that might've been'

She's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away

You know the nearer the destination
The more you're slip-sliding away
You're slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination
The more you're slip-sliding away

Mmhmmm
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
And he turned around and headed home again

He's slip-sliding, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination
The more you're slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination
The more you're slip-sliding away
