Leonard Cohen - Passing Through lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - Passing Through lyrics]
I saw Jesus on the cross
On a hill called Calvary
"Do you hate mankind for what
They done to you?"
He said, "Talk of love not hate
Things to do - it's getting late
I've so little time and
I'm only passin' through"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
I saw Adam leave the garden with
An apple in his hand i said "Now you're out
What are you gonna do?"
"Plant some crops and pray for rain
Maybe raise a little Cain i'm an orphan now
And I'm only passin' through so are you"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
I was with Washington at Valley Forge
Shiverin' in the snow i said
"How come the men here suffer like they do?"
"Men will suffer, men will fight
Even die for what is right
Even though they know they're
Only passin' through"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side on
The night before he died he said
"One world must come out of world war two"
(ah, the fool)
"Yankee, Russian, white or tan, " he said
"a man is still a man we're all on one road
And we're only passin' through"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
Let's do it one more time
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
On a hill called Calvary
"Do you hate mankind for what
They done to you?"
He said, "Talk of love not hate
Things to do - it's getting late
I've so little time and
I'm only passin' through"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
I saw Adam leave the garden with
An apple in his hand i said "Now you're out
What are you gonna do?"
"Plant some crops and pray for rain
Maybe raise a little Cain i'm an orphan now
And I'm only passin' through so are you"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
I was with Washington at Valley Forge
Shiverin' in the snow i said
"How come the men here suffer like they do?"
"Men will suffer, men will fight
Even die for what is right
Even though they know they're
Only passin' through"
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you

Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
Let's do it one more time
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passin' through
