IN PASSING (ᴬ ᵍʰᵒˢᵗ ᶜᵒᶰˢᵒᶫᶦᶰᵍ ʰᵉʳ ᵍʳᶦᵉᵛᶦᶰᵍ ˢᶦˢᵗᵉʳ)
Little Sister, Playing hide and seek Even though momma told you I’m really gone If you miss me Sneak a peek at my diary Or read the peek-a-boo sky that lights the night
I’ll say this once: Light up the night Stardust! When it hurts inside Read all the signs Follow It’s okay to feel down And just remember That nothing’s made to last I know you’re sad That too will pass That too will pass In passing
Little sister Ignore local news Papers come from trees we’ll never climb What a joke! They made me look so sad That bad bad lake’s okay; it washed through my hair
And the waves said: Light up the night Stardust! When it hurts inside Read all the signs Follow It’s okay to feel down And just remember That nothing’s made to last I know you’re sad That too will pass That too will pass You’ll recall our past Till one day You too will pass.
