Big Country - Pass Me By

Johnny comes to town
With his shoes turned out
Saying things are looking up
He's on the street
With his eyes gone wild
He speaks with the voice of a child

When you see me
You pass me by
You don't hear me
You pass me by

No roof and the rains have come
He says he lives in the sun
He light a candle and he'll tell you why
He needs the width of the sky

When you see me
You pass me by
You don't hear me
You pass me by

If you meet me somewhere out there
Don't you ever pass me by
If you see me waiting out there
Don't you ever pass me by

He is sometimes here and often gone
Who knows which road he is on
Stay sad and hold up proof
Which one is sure of the truth

When you see me
You pass me by
You don't hear me
You pass me by

If you meet me somewhere out there
Don't you ever pass me by
If you see me waiting out there
Don't you ever pass me by

If you meet me somewhere out there
Don't you ever pass me by
If you see me waiting out there
Don't you ever pass me by
