Passing Through - Miggs

A thousand miles from nowhere

In a town without a name

The sign says, «stranger stay away»

But you stop there just the same

And you recognize a woman

From a dream that you once had

Where she cut your heart to ribbons

And her laughter drove you mad

Take the thorn out of your side

Take the stone out of your shoe

Just take it all in stride

You’re only passing through

Make today the good old days

Make tomorrow something new

Just play it as it lays

You’re only passing through

Now you’re stranded once again

With a bible in your hand

Wearing a coat of many colors

With your lips covered in sand

There’s a full moon above you

Flashing like a neon light

And the sound of distant drummers

Beat slowly in the night

As you burn out in the sun

As you stop before you start

Then find hope was there none

And you whistle in the dark
