This is the first Paul Simon cover I have uploaded...probably the first of a few. It was originally released on his 'Greatest Hits, Etc.' album. It's a great, simple tune.
I hope you enjoy it!

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away

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

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 is when I lie in the bed
And I think of things that might have been

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 he headed home again

God only knows, God makes his plans
The informations unavailable to the mortal man
Were work at our jobs, collect our pay
Believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact were slip sliding away
