Yesterday's gone like the ocean

Taken by the tide

Like the night and the morning

Like a bird when she flies

Yesterday's gone and it's only now

 A place where today used to be

Lost in the space of forever and eternity

But tomorrow the sun will be born in

The twinkling of an eye

Father and mother of morning

Hope of today's gone by

The beginning of all that has happened

Yet the ending of all that's to be

Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing

 Ah, but I've read the book long before

 I had learned how to read between the lines

I saw only what I could see through my eyes not my mind

 God it takes a long time
