Passing Through - Marshall Crenshaw

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
