Yesterday

the rain's hittin' me
with respect
it is a summer rain
it isn't wet
coolin' me down
way out of town

in a field
where the only noise is
buzzing bees
takin' it home as I do
when I'm with her alone
in these Woods

the field knows
it's being used
it doesn't mind
it comes to bloom

takin' me an' Sally far away
in to the colours of the day
an' we don't mind we've got time
to lay down be surprised
by the freshness of it all

our green wall
will never come down
will never decay
we don't intend to stay
takin' it home
as to remind summer days

in their prime
where nothing was lost
with so much to give
little did we take
it didn't break
the freshness
of...
yesterday

Ev'rytime

waitin' for Sophy
more than an hour
Sophie's like a flower

showing of her colour
but not around here
so I wait an' wait

it gets darker
startin' to rain
water in my shoes

feel  like an idiot
but still I stay
waitin' for Sophie
a second day

suddenly a taxi swings 'round
out comes sophie with a smile

that's what I do it for
for that smile
I can't resist it
that's why I wait
ev'rytime

It never is

 

 

 

 

 

it

 

never is easy

 

when a storm comes down with its rain

 

 

never

 

is

 

 

fightin' a fire with its pain

 

 

and

 

I

 

know I'm goin' to miss you

 

 

hangin' on somewhere in my mind

 

tellin'me your lies were my truth

 

ev'ry time

 

it

 

never is easy

 

changin' ways you once knew

 

 

it

 

never

 

is
