In Passing

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
That too will pass
That too will pass
That too will pass
In passing
In passing
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
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
That too will pass
That too will pass
That too will pass
You’ll recall our past
Till one day
You too will pass.
