lyrics

Yesterday

Yesterday I ran to you my arms were open wide
Yesterday I ran to you I never new to hide
Feelings that were down on me where somewhere I went wrong
Feelings that I had to hide and nothing here to come.

Hold me in these precious arms of yours
Hold me in these precious arms of yours

Never know the city calls to me like smoke
And through the oak I can see I nearly choked beneath the pipe I smoked
And I could be your friend and hold your hand and guide you down the land
That I once did know I’ve seen and seeked the only thing I ever been

Every other inch of you was mine to falter yeah was mine to falter yeah

Oh, yesterday was just a day
I let it go like a balloon that I bought at the fair
That you once cared for
Just a blue one or a green one
Oh, my heart just sunk and I just saw what I had thunk
I didn’t know if I could let go of it
But it just blew up it any other way
Then the clouds just seemed to die
Then the clouds just seemed to die
Yeah
