paroles de chanson Slip Slidin' Away - Paul Simon

Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo

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 hometown
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
He said, "Delores I live in fear
My love for you 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

"And 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 father 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

He's slip slidin', slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away

And God only knows, God makes His plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're workin' 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, slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away

A-mm-hm-mm-hm
I wanna love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-la-la-love
I wanna love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-la-la-love
I wanna love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-love, a-la-la-love
I wanna love and love and love and love and la-la-love
I wanna love, love, love, love, love, love, la-la-la-mm-hmm
