Simon and Garfunkel, the concert in Central Park (11) Lyrics Slip sliding away, slip sliding away You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown He said dolores, I live in fear My love for yous so overpowering, Im afraid that I will disappear Chorus I know a woman, (who) became a wife These are the very words she uses to describe her life She said a good day aint got no rain She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed And I think of things that might have been Chorus And I know a father who had a son He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things hed done He came a long way just to explain He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping Then he turned around and he headed home again Chorus Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan The informations unavailable to the mortal man Were workin our jobs, collect our pay Believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact were slip sliding away Chorus repeats 2x
