The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll see you again
When? oh when?
Please don't ask me when
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
Light me up a cigarette
And check that my bags are packed
Something I was gonna say
It's gone - till another time
But how long till that other time
I hate to go
But I'll be back again
When? oh when?
Please don't ask me when
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll be back again
When? oh when?
Please don't ask me when
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
