Slip Slidin' Away Lyrics Artist(Band):Paul Simon
Slip slidin' away You know 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 said Dolores I live in fear My love for you's so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away 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's when I lie in bed And think of things that might have been Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away And I know a fa-ther 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 Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away God only knows God makes his plan The information's unavailable To the mortal man We're working our jobs Collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway When in fact we're slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away Mmm...

Review about Slip Slidin' Away hopelessness | Reviewer: Rico | 5/3/2008 Deep in the heart of man | Reviewer: Humberto Jimenez | 1/21/2008 Deep in the heart of man is the sense that there is a destination. Yet, as we move towards it, we also avoid it. Sometimes we don't see that: "Believe we're gliding down the highway when in fact we're slip slidin' away". This is at once very real and very sad. Why does the father just kiss the boy instead of telling him "the reasons for the things he'd done"? Why does the wife lie in bed thinking of what might have been? Yet they trudge on, collect our pay, etc. This slice of life inspires one to move on from merely gliding down the highway, and instead to truly move toward our destiny, that thing which God does know. WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN 20TH CENTURY POETRY | Reviewer: Kell Morrow | 7/23/2007 You know, a lot of people say that the age of poetry is long past--but this beautiful and moving song shows just how wrong they are. For me, the song points out the overpowering love, commitment and even heroism that exists in everyday life--summed up in a short poem. This is the sort of work that a sixth grader will one day stand in front of his English class and recite with a tear running down his cheek as he thinks about the depth of love that he sees between his Mom and Dad and that he feels from each. Yes, "we work our jobs and collect our pay" each day so that we can go on loving and seeing the majesty of life. Example of late 20th century American poetry | Reviewer: Kell Morrow | 7/23/2007 This song proves that there are still great poets in the world--capable of taking a few short lines and expressing volumes of the positive emotions that keep us all going--love, commitment and an excitement about each new day. One day, if it hasn't already happened, a sixth grader will stand in front of his class reciting this poem with a tear running down his cheek as he thinks about the love that he sees every day between his parents and that he feels from both.
