Passing By

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

Catching up with time and space
You don’t know what you’ll get
But i know whats not going on
Cos nothing’s happened yet

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

I could’ve turned the other way
The feeling came so fast
Quickly went away again
Just wasn’t meant to last

It stopped me in my tracks
I didn’t know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

It stopped me in my tracks
I didnt know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
…
Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

Passing By

Lyrics
You sing to me your love song
sing it form your heart
you bring me such delight
right from the very start

sing to me, oh sing to me
sing me your wonderful songs
oh sing to me, oh sing to me
sing me your wonderful songs

you play the guitar in such a style
a talent that’s hard to find
you make me forget my woes
 calming to my mind

sing to me, oh sing to me
sing me your wonderful songs
oh sing to me, oh sing to me
sing me your wonderful songs


sing to me, oh sing to me
sing me your wonderful songs
oh sing to me, oh sing to me
sing me your wonderful songs

Sing me your wonderful songs

I notice trees along the highway and beyond
Tempted as I drive to ponder each design
To enunciate its weight in life's green scheme
But each lone specimen evades me as I speed 
Toward unknown peripheries
Of darker and darker
Groves and forests and jungles
Implicating blackness in the blur of green until
Impatiently
I change the station
And watch the road

It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut

In the tangled humps of exposed roots I walk among
In preference to the flat meander of concrete
     sidewalks
No subtle clues of something to do with souls
     impress me now
No metaphoric mazes come to mind to puzzle me
With riddles of the meaning of roots
With the force of things unknown and new
I walk among the tangled roots
Only because the way is straight and short

It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut

Implicating blackness in the blur of green until
Impatiently
I change the station
And watch the road
And walk among the tangled roots
Only because the way is straight and short

It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut

Short Cut

Tomorrow I will take the light 
and bend it 'round my day

Tomorrow I will walk ahead
and let your phantom fade

cause I know you are happy
without me
without me

The jury in my head
is begging me to lock 
the thought of innocence away
but the judge is 
torn between her gut
it disagrees with 
the facts displayed

Oh, I was nasty
I was so mad
now you probably hate me
but I love you still
I love you still

I know you are happy
without me
without me

Tomorrow I will take the light 
and force it 'round my day
tomorrow i will walk ahead
but recognize that messes will be made

These chemical thoughts
they put me here
These chemical thoughts
they put me here
These chemical thoughts
they put me here
it could be so simple

could be so simple
