Lyrics:
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’s so overpowering
I’m afraid that I will disappear”

He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown. What a lyric!!!!!
-
It's 1978, 4 AM on a Friday night, and I have this playing softly on my stereo after everyone is asleep.
-
This song means so much more to me now then it ever has. Living life for 61 years the ups and downs, love gained and lost, the pain, the pleasure. Amazing how life will change you, and your perspective, if you live long enough.
-
"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". That line kills me every time I hear it.
-
You never truly understand this song until you are older. It’s an absolute masterpiece ❤️
-
Believe we're gliding down the highway when in fact we're slip sliding away... DAMN, brilliant.
-
The older I get the more I appreciate this song.
-
“The nearer your destination, you know the more you’re slip sliding away.” So true. Love this song.

I had a women slip slide away on me I raised a son without her he is now practicing medicine has children of his own now life has been good to a old plumber he still calls for advice
-
I was 15 when this came out. Didn't have a clue what Paul was talkin' about. Now 55, and....slip slidin' away.
-
Part of the reason i listen to older music as a Gen Z is because of the sweet comments of older generations sharing their memories and meaningful stories that connect to these songs ❤
-
God only knows, God makes his plan The information's unavailable to the mortal man -Such an incredible lyric
-
This song came out in 1975 , I was a senior in high school .I am now 61 and we are all slip sliding away. we are all mortal and are here for a very brief moment in this life. let us all come together as one people one Earth.

I sang this song when I was a kid, when I didn't even know the meaning of the words, when my dad was nowhere to be found & my single mom struggled to raise me & my 2 sisters... I've been fortunate to have wonderful, strong women who raised me, my grandmother as well, but no father figure. Hug your kids, guys, & be the best dad you can be, that's more powerful than you could possibly know & more valuable than all diamonds. My best to everyone ❤️✌️

who grew up listening to Paul Simon?
-
My Daddy passed away 25 hours ago. My heart hurts, and this helps. We used to listen to all Paul Simon thru the years. I had a cat named "Bones" inspired by Hearts & Bones. My Daddy taught me to love good music. 💔
-
Hard to find a song that just makes you want to feel more alive. The melody is 10/10 and Simon's voice is heaven.
-
a bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been... what incredible lyrics he has always had!
-
"I know a father who had a son..He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he done.. He came a long way just to explain.. Kissed his boy as he lay sleeping then turned around and headed home again" my dad did that very thing after him my mom split up. Didnt see him for a year and then he came to see me while i was sleeping one night. Miss you pops R.I.P. Jeff Scott Sr. Jan 20th 1965 - Nov 15th 2012. 🤘✌❤

His voice is a true instrument. Sounds angelic.
