Passing Thing Songtext
von Andrew Gold

Slowly sailin′ leaves
The children of the trees
Evicted by the wind
And can't return again

Young girl by a stream
Has lost her younger dreams
Her childhood will end
And won′t return again

'Cause it's only a passing thing
It′s only what time will bring
Though we are together thrown
We′re all alone
We can't go home
And you only have a heart
To see that only love can guide you


I am just a man
Followin′ my heart
Followin' a flame
That never stays the same

′Cause it's only a passing thing
It′s only what time will bring
Though we are together thrown
We're all alone
We can't go home
And you only have a heart
To see that only love can guide you

Yes, it′s only a passing thing
It′s only what time will bring
Though we are together thrown
We're all alone
We can′t go home
