lyrics

The Passersby

All the passersby and people in the shops
look at us as if to say
"please just go away"
it doesn't matter 'cause they don't know what we've got
they don't know how far and wide
we searched to be side by side

Through the alleys to our poorer-quarter haunt
we're all alone at last
and we've the last laugh
as they work themselves to death for things they want
all though we may be poor
we've so much more

Ain't no church bells
will ring and just as well
we'll do it as we please
wear it on our sleeves of hospice pleather
and come what may
we're gonna stay
together

The world rushes by all around
but we don't see a thing or hear a sound
we're lost tonight
under starlight
and in all the love that we've found

and come what may
we're gonna stay
together
together
together, forever
together
