Passing Through lyrics

Passing through a small town

A world, a reality foreign to me

It never existed before coming

Will it be there when I go away

A burg with a forgotten tale

Along some numbered stretch

That the locals call by name

Lost to the passerby there

Its inhabitants see each pass by

As if a bit of strange trickery

A presence by prestidigitation

Being, but for a brief spanse

Interactions in moments fleeting

If only a glance or a single action

Some may be mundane, unnoted

Or yet life long impressions made

A wonder to think that they live

In a completely different land

That mirrors in so many ways

Those I have always known

When we part are they still there

Do they wonder the same of me

Or is it but a dream on awakening

That vanishes in a solitary blink
