lyrics

PASSING THROUGH

by Van Walker

I feel glad deep inside

Most times you know I’m really glad I'm even alive

Though my heart is breaking & it's taking such a very long time

But I'll hit the road, I'll wait & see

Maybe something better is waiting for me

Up ahead on the road that I'm going but I never can see



You where there in my dreams 

& baby you can always tell me what it all means

These old windows are closed against the breeze

But I'd be lost if not for you

Girl there's only so much that a lover can do

Wave goodbye & sigh when he's passing through



So I'll follow my nose where the cold wind blows 

& I'll wake up in the morning wearing another man's clothes 

& I'll wade in the water with the daughter of an immigrant rose

& I'll take you on & I'll hold my own

For the sin of the father I can gladly atone 

There's no time like the present to forgot it
I'll regret it I know



I lived there in your basement bare

You had a dodger for a lodger & in need of repair

But without a doubt that little house was ours to share

But what did I do? I thought I was living with you

I guess as soon as you're assuming with a woman you're through

But in all that time I never made a pass at you



So goodbye girl I guess I aint the one 

To meet you in the morn under monogamy's sun

It feels too bold to act old when you still feel young

But while I'm gone I'll think of you

And how you wrestled in the nettles for our wallaby stew

And how your shouldashone eyes shone brown when they shouldashone blue



You where there in my dreams 

& baby you can always tell me what it all means

These old windows are closed against the breeze
Yeah but I'd be lost if not for you

Girl there's only so much that a lover can do

But wave goodbye & sigh when he's passing through

For baby I'm passing through
