Yesterday, Yesterday Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Long

yesterday, yesterday was good 

but there's time for change in the wild wood 

I'm gonna head back down to seal the quill 

and let the black ink merge in the landfill 

hear the ringing of chains, as they bend and coil 

around the future's neck, see it broil 

many of us will be gone, dead for dreaming in the rain 

with all the guilt but without the pain 

and you can take yours and I'll take mine 

no running away from the scene of the crime 

and yesterday was fine 

I was so in love with you 

with what people do to me and you 

yesterday, yesterday but there's time for change 

from yesterday 

he's a born again fake, the crowd would cheer 

if they could see their hands and calm their fear 

being led by a wishbone, whose making a break 

nothing's gonna come through for this treasured fake 

I read a story in a paper, someone lit it on fire 

just a wholesome buyer, but written by a liar 

oh yesterday, yesterday, won't come around 

and it's been and gone and in this song
