She's Passin Me By

about

Moody piano ballad with synthesized orchestration

lyrics

As she watches the desert fly by
I take my clothes to the wash and dry
And as they spin around the wheels on her car
Almost lift off the ground
She sees the sunset in her rear view mirror
I see it in my mind’s eye
And all of the beauty that’s there in the sky
Like lightnin follow her down

As I walk to the store for the paper
I picture the wind in her hair
And as streetlights come on
The first stars shine down
Through the cool desert air
And as people pull up to their curbs for the night
She approaches the city of sparklin light
And I sit down, turn around, and try to get
The color of my coffee just right

Chorus

And she’s passin me by
I know that I’m just pretending
That I can keep up with my wings on the ground
While hers are always ascending
And she’s passin me by straight up through the sky
As I stand on the ground and wonder
What it’s like to fly
But it’s so hard to remember how to fly
Once you’ve fallen out of the sky

While a cowboy lassoes a bucket of diamonds
She enters the carpeted hall
I turn on the late news, just the same old city blues
Nothin surprisin or excitin at all,
As she puts some money down just for some fun
I look at the breakers and see how they run
And they’re passin me by and they always will
Till I take one and ride till I make it or spill

Repeat Chorus
