The first sound I heard was a woman's cry
The first word I learned to say was goodbye
So forgive me if I'm wrong in what I do to you
Like the cold north wind I'm just a passin' through
Happiness for me has not been found
Cause yet I still search from town to town
No offence but I don't think I'll find it here with you
Goodbye babe I'm just a passin' through
Passin' through your life like a raging river
No woman needs or can hold the love I give her
Please understand that I can't control the things I do
While passin' through just passin' through
What was that did you say you thought you loved me
That's too bad girl cause if you really do
You'll just awaken with the dawn and find that love has gone
With the cold north wind that was passin' through
Passin' through your life like a raging river...
Like the cold north wind I'm just a passin' through
Like the cold north wind I'm just a passin' through
