Yesterday Lyrics by Deep Chatham

Words from the Well

2011

[Verse 1]
Sing a song of love
Fate and beauty true
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, life flows
Past memories
Won‘t bring back yesterday
No, I know thеse feelings
They tell mе where to find
Where to find the pain
I find myself
Lord, wonderin‘
Which love he's gonna break
Then I see your sigh
He’s not dead to me

[Verse 3]
She knows the closest way to you
She closes her eyes
The vision of you fades
Dried-up tears don’t cry
Miles away on the 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

[Verse 5]
I knew a song
Didn’t mean a thing to me
Suddenly you’re gone
I play it constantly
It goes:

[Chorus]
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 your sigh
He’s not dead to me

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
She knew a man
He held her heart in hand
Love surrounded her
Shadows on the wall
She sees them all
And still the melody, it lingers
It goes:

[Chorus]
Life flows
Past memories
Won‘t bring back yesterday
And 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 your sigh
It’s only yesterday
