The From Yesterday
It wasn't reall sad the way they good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and away And she became the girl yesterday He took a across the sea To some land She stayed at home and to understand How who had been so close could be so far away And she became the girl from She doesn't know what's She doesn't know wrong She only knows the pain that comes waiting for so long And she doesn't the teardrops she's cried while he's away Because she deep in her heart That he'll be back The light's on in the window; waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never home She dreams of his returning and the that he might say But always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, always be the girl from yesterday
To Be Still
It's just day in paradise As you to your bed You'd give anything to Those ringing in your head You thought you find happiness Just over green hill You thought you would be But you will- to be still We are like without a shepherd We don't how to be alone So we 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong home But the flock cries out for And keep answering that bell And one more messiah a violent farewell- Learn to be Learn to be Now the flowers in garden They don't smell so Maybe forgotten The heaven lying at your There are so contridictions In all messages we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken Even if your heart is It's for you to awaken And someday you Learn to be Learn to be You keep on runnin' Keep on
Sunrise
It's another sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hired Workin' on the he planned to try The go by Ev'ry when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in And out runnin' 'round She wasn't just another And I couldn't keep from on It's so long Oh, and it's a feelin' when It comes to dealin' friends It ends Take another shot of Wonder why the right words come You just get It's tequila sunrise,this old world looks the same, frame, mm...
