Passing Through

Album: Jaggedland (2009)

  • In our old shoes, we walked last night
    Sparkling concrete under the lights
    Traffic sounds, bouncing off the steel and glass
    We traced our steps from the past

    Shadows in the curtains on the second floor
    I used to have a key to that front door
    We didn't know it then
    But you and I were just passing through
    Passing by

    Let's hurry on
    No use standing and staring, hurry on
    I thought I heard you say, let's walk on
    We really can't stay
    We're just passing through this way

    This world is moving and changing always
    We'd better be about new days
    For as long as we may, we're just passing through
    Just passing through this way

    In our old shoes we walked last night
    Ghosts of old friends on the left and right
    Being there with you gave me a thrill
    Like it used to do and always will

    We've got dreams to dream, places left to go
    When we'll be back there, I don't know
    Maybe sometime before we're done
    On some other trip around the sun
