Lyrics Passing Thing - 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
