Patti Scialfa lyrics : "Yesterday's Child"
yesterday I saw someone
who reminded me of you
and Iâ?¦
held my breath and called your name
and though I knew it was not you
I followed just the sameâ?¦
I wanted to raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
Annaâ?¦ sweep the doorway clean
Let's forgive before we blame
and Iâ?¦
will make my own amends
with the dust and sin
underneath my skin
and on my maiden name
So let's raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
Annaâ?¦ in my dreams
I open my arms and I'm flying
let's do some living
forget about the dyingâ?¦
Annaâ?¦ I've done my thousand days
now I'm walking free in time
and Iâ?¦ still have my imaginings
where there's no strugglingâ?¦
or suffering
just cigarettes and wineâ?¦
So let's raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
