Yesterday's Child

Anna

In a foreign blue

Yesterday I saw someone

Who reminded me of you

And I

Held my breath

And called your name

And though I knew it was not you

I followed just the same

I wanted to raise the glass

To a symphony of miles

And say our last farewell

To yesterday's child

Anna

Sweep the doorway clean

Let's forgive

Before we blame

And I

Will make my own amends

With the dust and sin

Underneath my skin

And on my maiden name

Chorus:

So let's raise the glass

To a symphony of miles

And say our last farewell

To yesterday's child

Anna

In my dreams

I open my arms

And I'm flying

Let's do some living

Forget about the dying

Anna

I've done my thousand days

Now I'm walking free in time

And I

Still have my imaginings

Where there's no struggling

Or suffering

Just cigarettes and wine

(Chorus)
