Only passing through
Only passing through
We own this stuff briefly
You can't take it with you
You can't own the houses
That will outstand you
Only passing through
These houses and these streets
McAllister
O`Farel
California
Clay
Green
Greenwich
Chestnut
Bay
Only passing through
Only passing through
We own this stuff briefly
You can't take it with you
As I walked out this morning
Before the sun was up
Everyone was sleeping still
The curtains all were shut
The world I found was wealthy
More than we can afford
And all that is offered to us
A miserly reward
Only passing through
Only passing through
We own this stuff briefly
You can't take it with you
