Todd Rundgren - Past Lyrics






I saw you on the street today
I could not catch your eye or you'd have heard me say
That you look just the same
But then I realized
We are not even friends and I was so surprised
When the teardrops came

I'm living in the past
Living in the past
Living in the past, I know
But the past is gone

I can't remember when
You didn't cross my mind and pull me back again
Into my reverie
And that's why I'm living in the past

And I gaze out the window as the world drifts by
And my eyes will glaze and I slip away

And my todays are gray, the seconds tick away
But if I close my eyes it's only yesterday
And I see rainbows surrounding you and me
But that was in the past
I know it was the past

  1. j.... ....

    The music and lyrics resonate with me: painfully so.

  2. c.... m....

    The "Sirens " are Calling me back to the Islands!

  3. R.... S....

    Saying that Todd is underrated barely scratches the surface! He has been blackballed by the music industry mainstream and the RR Hall of Fame because he has never compromised his personal and artistic integrity! He understood at a very early time in his career that there was a Satanic like corruption in the music industry and he refused to go along with it....decade after decade!!

  4. c.... m....

    Hypnotic

    sirens are calling

    Liars is probably his best album.
