AQUALUNG - Slip-Sliding Away lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away<br>

You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away<br>

<br>

And I know a man, he came from my home town<br>

He wore this bad shirt for his woman like a thorny crown<br>

He said, "Dolores, I live in fear"<br>

"My love for you is so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear"<br>

<br>

He's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away<br>

You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away<br>

<br>

And I know a woman, became a wife<br>

These are the very words she uses to describe her life<br>

She says, "A good day ain't got not rain"<br>

She said, "A bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might've been"<br>

<br>

She's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away<br>

You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away<br>

You're slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away<br>

You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away<br>

<br>

Mmhmmm<br>

And I know a father who had a son<br>

He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done<br>

He came a long way just to explain<br>

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping and he turned around and headed home again<br>

<br>

He's slip-sliding, slip-sliding away<br>

You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away<br>

Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away<br>

You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away<br>

<BR><BR>
