Passing the Elephants ('25)

[Verse 1]

His body was moved from the city

They gave all his things to the Salvation Army Band

Placing his shoes on the lawn

Most of us knew him as Mark

[Chorus 1]

Back in the day

Sleeping in her arms

She went away too long

[Verse 2]

Could see him walk by

From our open kitchen window

At times he would sing to his kids on the phone

He kept to himself most of the time

And we always knew when he'd pass by the yard

[Chorus 2]

Back in the day

Sleeping in her arms

She went away too long

[Verse 3]

House for sale

Public viewing Sunday

I made other plans

[Chorus 3]

Back in the day

Sleeping in her arms

She went away too long
