passing through
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
