lyrics
Standing on the platform waiting still
Coat turned up against the winter chill
You see your breath rise in your face
Then it disappears without a trace
As the train comes in, bound for horizons new
But it's not stopping here, it's only passing through
No it's not stopping here, it's only passing through
People stop and listen now and then
But mostly they pretend that you're not there
Till among the tides that ebb and flow
Is the face of someone you'd like to know
Who drops a coin and smiles, while you smile too
But she's not stopping here, she's only passing through
No she's not stopping here, she's only passing through
Ooh
Landlord brought a contract to your room
And told you it's your last chance to renew
You replied, "This place been good to me
But it's not where I'm meant to be
And you never fixed that damn hole in the roof
Oh I'm not staying here, I'm only passing through
No I'm not staying here, I'm only passing through."
That girl left as soon as she came
But you know your heart will never be the same
You begged her, "Stay another night"
But she told you that, "The time's not right
And I don't think that my journey includes you
Oh I've not found my place, I'm only passing through
No I've not found my place, I'm only passing through
Ooh
You find yourself on the back row in a church
When you didn't know you had a soul to search
All eyes are fixed to the guy onstage
But their minds are somewhere far away
Though what he says still feels like it rings true
That we're not of this world, we're only passing through
No we're not of this world, we're only passing through
Just passing through
Passing though, passing through
On your way to somewhere new
Passing through, just passing through
Trying to find somewhere to belong to
Passing though, passing through
On your way to somewhere new
Passing through, just passing through
Trying to find somewhere to belong to
Just trying to find somewhere to belong to
Just trying to find somewhere to belong
