Only Passing Through

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
