Yesterday's gone like the ocean
Taken by the tide
Like the night and the morning
Like a bird when she flies
Yesterday's gone and it's only now
A place where today used to be
Lost in the space of forever and eternity
But tomorrow the sun will be born in
The twinkling of an eye
Father and mother of morning
Hope of today's gone by
The beginning of all that has happened
Yet the ending of all that's to be
Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing
Ah, but I've read the book long before
I had learned how to read between the lines
I saw only what I could see through my eyes not my mind
God it takes a long time
