Yesterday

Sing a song of love
Faze and beauty, truth
Two souls first aligned
Tragedy ensues
Miles away on the river
And he's with her
It's so beautiful
This time of day
Take a walk
We'll talk on yesterday

I knew a man
He held my heart in hand
Love surrounded me
He taught me castles made of sand
I understand were never meant to be
Oh life flows past memories
Won't bring back yesterday
No I know these feelings
They tell me where to find
Where to find the pain
I find myself, lord, wonderin
Which line he's gonna pray
Then I see her sigh
He's not dead to me

She knows the closest way to you
She closes her eyes
Vision of your face
Dried up tears don't cry
Miles away on a river
He's still with her
Well he tries and tries just to make her smile
If he was nearer then he'd hear her
But he's lost in yesterday

I knew a song
Didn't mean a thing to me
Suddenly you're gone
And I play it constantly
It goes
Life flows past memories
Won't bring back yesterday
Oh I know these feelings
They tell me where to find
Where to find the pain
I find myself, lord, wonderin
Which line he's gonna pray
Then I see
He's not dead to me

She thinks she's left alone
He wishes she would see
A house that was a home
Now breeds grief and misery
Thoughts grow clearer
Miles away on the river
Yeah she's happy now
Like he'd want her to be
Sits and smiles all the while sings a song of yesterday

She knew a man
He held her heart in hand
Love surroundin her
Shadows on the wall
She sees em all
And still the melody, it lingers
It goes life flows past memories
Won't bring back yesterday
No I know these feelings
They tell me where to find
Where to find the pain
I find myself, lord, wonderin
Which love he's gonna break
Then I see her sigh
He's not dead to me
