[00:20.35]Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
[00:29.84]You know the nearer your destination,
[00:32.44]the more you slip sliding away
[00:37.62]Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown
[00:46.86]He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
[00:53.20]He said Dolores,I live in fear
[01:01.75]My love for you's so overpowering,
[01:04.21]I'm afraid that I will disappear
[01:09.54]Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
[01:19.05]You know the nearer your destination,
[01:21.60]the more you slip sliding away
[01:27.48]I know a woman, (who) became a wife
[01:36.31]These are the very words she uses to describe her life
[01:42.69]She said a good day ain't got no rain
[01:51.38]She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed
[01:54.34]And I think of things that might have been

[02:08.85]You know the nearer your destination,
[02:11.42]the more you slip sliding away
[02:25.67]And I know a father who had a son
[02:30.30]He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
[02:36.84]He came a long way just to explain
[02:45.45]He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
[02:48.00]Then he turned around and he headed home again
[02:53.42]Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
[03:03.07]You know the nearer your destination,
[03:05.83]the more you slip sliding away
[03:11.19]Whoah God only knows,
[03:15.98]God makes his plan
[03:20.67]The information's unavailable to the mortal man
[03:27.25]We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
[03:36.01]Believe we're gliding down the highway,
[03:38.76]when in fact we're slip sliding away
[03:43.93]Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
[03:53.71]You know the nearer your destination,
[03:56.44]the more you slip sliding away
[04:01.48]Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
[04:11.44]You know the nearer your destination,
