Passing of the days
written and performed by Carole King
from "Touch the sky", 1979
May you travel bright and cheery
the many roads ahead you'll have to blaze
gonna be hard times to make you weary
it's a part of the passing of the days.
With all the people in the middle
selling things that self-destruct and make us bleed.
One day it's all gonna fall down
then you find out you're all you really need.
May you wander through the changes
with the warmth of the sun behind the haze.
When your lifestyle quickly rearranges
may you follow the passing of the days.
We trade our money for magic words
like Dumbo flyin' high in the nightly show
you think you can't fly without them
but someday when it happens you will know
May you travel bright and cheery
the many roads ahead you'll have to blaze
gonna be hard times to make you weary
it's all part of the passing of the days,
may you follow the passing of the days.
