It passes, but it does not pass away,
It passes, but it does not pass away,
Like those looming clouds, on those clearest days,
It passes, but it does not pass away.
In this gust & gloom, one never assumes,
That the one you know, is the one that’s true,
A pint to forgive, all those set in sin,
For the ones you don’t, are all those who’ll relive,
Saloon doors swing, as the past starts to slink in,
Who I was, who I am, when I’ll begin,
In a room full of all those you’ll desert,
Who’d be the one, that’ll choose to go first?
It passes, but it does not pass away,
It passes, but it does not pass away,
When it closes, you’re left with its echoing bray,
It passes, but it does not pass away.

I appreciate a song named John Candy that is actually about the actor and name-checks Summer Rental. All the other songs are good too. Great EP from a great band! TFid
