The From Yesterday
It wasn't reall sad the way they good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she cry He packed his things, walked out the and drove away And she became the from yesterday He a plane across the sea To some land She stayed at home and to understand How who had been so close could be so far away And she became the girl yesterday She doesn't know what's She know what's wrong She knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't count the That she's while he's away Because she deep in her heart That he'll be back The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the Talking to a memory never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, always be the girl from yesterday
To Be Still
It's another day in paradise As you stumble to bed give anything to silence Those voices ringing in head You thought you could happiness Just over that green You you would be satisfied But you never Learn to be We are like without a shepherd We don't know how to be So we wander 'round this And up following the wrong gods home But the flock out for another And they answering that bell And one more messiah Meets a violent to be still Learn to be Now the in your garden They don't smell so you've forgotten The heaven lying at feet There are so contridictions In all these messages we (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken if your heart is breakin' It's for you to awaken And someday you to be still Learn to be You just on runnin' Keep on
