Slip Sliding Away Imaginary Future

Slip slidin' away
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
