guess who came by
and asked about you last night
asked if you were seeing someone else
it's no big thing
so how have you been doing
I'm kind of seeing someone new myself
are you listening close enough to hear
somewhere it changed
I'm falling back in
now it's me who's calling you again
I hear myself go on and on
hoping I'll accidentally make sense
don't ask me now
what's on my mind
maybe I just called to say hi
but I guess you can see
there are two things that I need
nothing and everything
do you still have
those shoes I used to laugh at
remember that night they turned your feet red
is it too much
to tell you that I think of
the sound of those shoes falling by my bed
if you could read my mind
you'd see it clear
(Chorus)
hey I didn't mean
to take up your time
I know this sounds like a riddle
I'm hiding behind
but there's nothing I want more
than to have everything
like it used to be
(Chorus)I looked into a windowpane
Last evening in a city far away
I was feelin' sad and blue
I wondered then if I should really stay
Wanting someone to be with me in the light of this uncertain time
Waiting by the window for the man inside
To please make up his mind
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
I walked along the roadway to a fountain
Where lovers come to meet
A hobo walked up to me, I could tell
He didn't have enough to eat
He said, "Good sir you look so kind
And though the years have stripped me to the bone
It seems I am the better man
For in this place I've never walked alone
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
"Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't givin' out no calls
And when the seasons come to haunt you
Will you still find springtime in the fall
And when you're on your island
Will you wave at every ship that passes by
And will you feed a hungry man
I thank you, sir,
Now I'll just say goodbye"
Don't you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
