Slip Slidin' Away [Over the Bridge of Time: A Paul Simon Retrospective, 2013]

[00:00.43] Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
[00:14.19] Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
[00:23.19] You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
[00:30.89] I know a man, he came from my hometown
[00:39.66] He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
[00:45.16] He said, "Delores I live in fear
[00:52.53] My love for you so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear"
[00:59.54] Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
[01:08.54] You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
[01:15.82] "And I know a woman became a wife"
[01:24.87] These are the very words she uses to describe her life
[01:30.48] She said, "A good day ain't got no rain"
[01:38.80] She said, "A bad day's when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been"
[01:45.74] Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
[01:54.70] You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
[02:03.79]
[02:05.87] And I know a father who had a son
[02:10.66] He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
[02:16.37] He came a long way just to explain
[02:24.37] He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping then he turned around and headed home again
[02:31.34] He's slip slidin', slip slidin' away
[02:40.60] You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
[02:48.84]
[02:55.63] And God only knows, God makes His plan
[03:04.60] The information's unavailable to the mortal man
[03:10.22] We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
[03:18.73] Believe we're gliding down the highway when in fact we're slip slidin' away
[03:25.24] Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
[03:33.84] You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
[03:41.11] Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
[03:50.16] You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
[03:57.48] A-mm-hm-mm-hm
[04:02.16] I wanna love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-la-la-love
[04:09.39] I wanna love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-la-la-love
[04:17.77] I wanna love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-la-la-love
[04:25.75] I wanna love and love and love and love and la-la-love
[04:33.58] I wanna love, love, love, love, love, love, la-la-la-mm-hmm
