Yesterday's Song

When I was young,

I used to sing

Until my brothers came

And brought me to my feet,

And we would run,

To the creek,

And listen to the water

Teach us how to speak,

In tones of calm,

Ocean green,

With dragonflies the size of

Which you'd never seen

And it seems, so far gone,

And further everyday

That life continues on

When I'm away,

It gets hard, I know,

The robins in the mornin'

Keep singin',

Yesterday's song

And that one time,

Out in the barn

We smoked so much,

Forgot what planet we were one

And we got cheese,

And a salsa bowl,

And Manny made a dip

He said was cultural

And we just laughed,

Fell on our backs,

The summer nights and the redwood highs

Would do like that,

And then I blinked,

And the world began to shrink

The rivers we would play in

'came the rivers we would swim

When I'm away,

It gets hard, I know,

The robins in the mornin'

Keep singin',

Yesterday's song

*Instrumental Break*

When I was young,

I used to dream

Until my mother came and

Woke me from my sleep,

And she would say,

That boy, one day,

Well you'll be lookin' back

With love on yesterday

And when I'm away,

It gets hard, I know,

The robins in the morni'

Keep singin',

Yesterday's song
