Lyrics Passing Through - The Boomtown Rats

Passing Through

Today in the park
I thought I saw you
That afternoon light
Playin' tricks on you
I wish that you told me
I’m only passing through
You passed through me
As you were passing through
Didn’t you?
We will not break, we will not bend
We’ll take these rented souls and render them
Immune to loss or pain
We’ll just pretend it’s all the same
Today in the cafe
I thought I saw you
Smoke filters through the window
Playing those tricks on you
Why didn’t you tell me
You were only passing through?
Stopping here a little while
As you were passing through
Didn’t you?
We will not break, we will not bend
We’ll take these rented souls and render them
Immune to loss or pain
We’ll just pretend that nothing’s changed
