Pass Through Me Now Songtext
von Joe Henry

Just above us, north of here, September′s rising hand
Draws a copper curtain down around us as we stand
Changing into different clothes left scattered on this land

Oh, every bit of light pass through me now
Every bit of light pass through me now

Mother of my father's son, I′ve moved apart from you
Father out into the world like we're supposed to do
But tell me something, anything, of where you've gotten to

Oh, every bit of light pass through me now
Every bit of light pass through me now


Orphan from the days to come, we rattle bones and keys
Feel the blood that is our wine rolling up our sleeves
Hurry past the feral moon, hungry in the trees

Oh, every bit of light pass through me now
Every bit of light pass through me now

I listen to your ringing phone as you stood at my door
Tried to hear my voice inside, my feet upon the floor
Neither of us moving, both of us unsure
How did I think this story just my own?

If there′s a heaven or a hell, it′s here and it is now
And if I lived a life before, it knew this one somehow
It knew that I'd wait years for you, it probably taught me how

Oh, every bit of light pass through me now
Every bit of light pass through me now
