lyrics

THAT PASSED, THIS IS

And this is where the story always ends
Where it all begins, time and time again
A little bird flies in from the night
Into the feasting hall, fires burning bright

From the night, the silence, and the cold
Through the feast of life flies the little soul
And on the walls, see the shadows cast
Shadows of our joys, sorrows of the past

It’s gone, ah ha
That passed, and so will this
That passed, this is
That passed, and so will this

We tell the tales that always have been told
Close against the night, warm against the cold
Love and war, and ordinary days
The wonders and the work, homelands
and the wandering ways

All gone, ah ha
That passed, and so will this
That passed, this is
That passed, and so will this

Behind every singer’s song
Is a line a thousand generations long
Who knows how many gathered so
Or how many thousand years ago

Outside of time, this place
Knows the changing weather of the human face
As all the passing things endure
So all that have passed are present here

The shadows stand tall behind our backs
Sun and moon and stars frozen in their tracks
A little bird flies in as before
Through the feast of life, out again through
the other door

It’s gone, ah ha
That passed, and so will this
That passed, this is
That passed, and so will this
And this is where the story always ends

about

Patrick Regan image

Patrick Regan Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

A songwriter and singer, I'm handy enough to be a one-man band but lucky enough to rope in great collaborators: Andy Goessling, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, John Andrews, Shannon Anderson, and more.

This is one place I'm preserving and publishing the best of my songs. Look for new releases here throughout 2024. ... more
