Slip Slidin’ Away

26 November 2006 522 views 2 Comments

Well, i had the whole day this song in my head, it has some strong bounds with my childhood. When I was very young I used to sleep in the same room with my older brother.
Before sleeping he used to play guitar, in a very silent way. This was one of them

Slip Slidin’ Away – Simon And Garfunkel

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said delores
I live in fear
My love for yous so overpowering
Im afraid that I will disappear

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

I know a woman
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 days 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 youre slip slidin away

And I know a fa-ther
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 headed home again

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

God only knows
God makes his plan
The informations unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe were gliding down the highway
When in fact were slip slidin away

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away

Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more youre slip slidin away
Mmm…

    I am the older brother…
    :)
    it’s funny, to be here casually and find an old moment of my life, moments I don’t even know to share with someone else…
    (didn’t you were sleeping?!?!?!)

    that’s the way it goes, you never know who’s going to remind you something that happened to your life.

    i think i could make a category of those kind of memories, and ..no no i wasn t sleeping at all. :)
