You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away.”

“In secret pleasure — secret tears
This changeful life has slipped away”

Emily Brontë book Wuthering Heights

I Am the Only Being (1836)
Source: Wuthering Heights
Context: I am the only being whose doom
No tongue would ask no eye would mourn
I never caused a thought of gloom
A smile of joy since I was born
In secret pleasure — secret tears
This changeful life has slipped away
As friendless after eighteen years
As lone as on my natal day

“But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place.
Still it's the world that I'm in.
Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say.
Knowing you're watching me from far away
Somewhere that I've never been.”

Billy Joel (1949) American singer-songwriter and pianist

State of Grace.
Song lyrics, Storm Front (1989)
