Paul Kelly - Passed Over Lyrics
Today is a very fine day, a very happy day in every way
Today is a very fine day-put your hands together and pray
The angel came mighty close, in the middle of the night he came so close
The angel came mighty close and then he carried on his way
He passed over, passed over, passed over
We slew the lamb and smeared his blood, killed the little lamb to stay the hand of God
We slaughtered the lamb and caught his blood and daubed it on the door
We heard the beating of the wings, heard the busy beating of the terrible wings
We heard the beating of the wings and then we heard nothing at all
He passed over, passed over, passed over
The first born child was burning up, in the middle of the night he called for a cup
The first born child was burning up, begging for his mama to come
Mama mopped his burning brow, mama dear came with a cool, cool towel
Mama mopped his burning brow and stayed watching over him
The first born son came down the stairs, mama dear kissed his curly brown hair
The first born child came down the stairs, hungry as a grizzly bear
Today is a very fine day, a very happy day in every way
Today is a very fine day, the angel carried on his way
He passed over, passed over, passed over

Great version on his greatest hits album
You got a new fan brother! all though you got your own sound this takes me back to sitting with my Uncle Jimmy listing to Bob Dylan. Your music touches my soul and makes me smile! much love my friend and peace be with you!
This song kills me. So beautiful.
This and How To Make Gravy are two of my favourite songs by him. Listening to his music is a joy, with their simple, yet beautiful storylines, and the frequent setting of Melbourne, my home city. Thanks Paul.
The Memories , love Paul's music and my children (now in their 20's) love him as well
Love that he sings this song from two points of view.
I loathe the term 'national treasure' because its such an overused cliché, but this man is. Thanks Paul !
And Bob Dylan gets The Nobel peace prize... Paul is twice the artist Dylan ever will be
Both are amazing songwriters/artists. But I hear ya, PK's amazing.
Dylan got Literature, not Peace
IM MORE WORRIED OBAMA GOT THE PEACE PRIZE...HE KILLED MANY MANY PEOPLE
"We could not stop our kissing"... no better time than that
i walked 5 miles in the melbourne rain but i could have walked 10 more when i first met your ma
The greatest compliment/ indication of his songwriting ability is shown in the doco on Paul. People associated with him name there favourite Paul song - and nearly everyone had a different song. When you see people of all ages at his concerts, and they know and enjoy the lyrics, tells you of his ability. I personally have about 20 favourite Paul Kelly songs and cant pick one as the best
The Master.
I love Paul Kelly, his voice, his songs, his talent - awesomeness!
The simplicity of Paul's songs is part of their greatness; real life as sung by a real troubador. His live performances are special and his appeal is wide-reaching.
This fan says thank you to Paul for the joy and the sorrow that you have been able to express for so many of us throughout your career.
