Yesterday

Yesterday I was young,
Yesterday I was free,
Yesterday I smiled upon the death
Sweeping around me,
Yesterday I was a child,
Yesterday was years ago.

Yesterday I was bird,
Yesterday I was a tree,
Yesterday I was the kiss of a tease,
Yesterday I was alone,
Yesterday I was naive.

But yesterday is gone,
And today is forever,
No more returns, no more recalls,
You know better now.

Today is grey,
Yesterday was blue,
Riding around in that car with you,
Smiling and laughing with not a care,
Never thinking that yesterday may not be there.
