A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field
Once surrounded by the walls of work

By laughter and by love
The sound of children playing
And the sound of people saying

I love you--yeah you

A crooked tree stands naked near the

center of the field
Barely rooted in the browns and greys
Of earth that once was green

A place long since forgotten
In a world of yesterday
Except by me--yeah me


And Oh--whose plan was this anyway
And I never thought He would want it to be that way


It once was beautiful--Right Here
It still is beautiful--In Here

You once were beautiful--I hear
I hear it can be beautiful
Just remember


A twisted little image in your perfect little world
Of the chapter where itd all begun

About a song already sung
Burnt around the edges
Nearly faded--nearly gone

Even you--yeah you

A shiny building standing in the center of today

Where indifferent people go to work
Go about their pay
Knowing they've forgotten

In a most convenient way
Yesterday--away
