Lyrics
Yesterday?s Man
Words and music by Robert Marsh
Copyright ©2005 Robert Marsh
VERSE ONE:
Waiting for the time to come, the knock upon your door
Will it be the way you want it
Promising to be someone, feeling so assured
But it?s not the way you want it
Hang on now, the jury?s out, should you stay or should you go
Running away don?t mean a thing, running away you?ll never know
CHORUS:
You?re living your life as yesterday?s man
No common sense, no master plan,
You?re living your life as yesterday?s man, taking no advice
You?re living your life as yesterday?s man
Shattered pieces in your hand
You?re living your life as yesterday?s man, it ain?t no surprise for you
VERSE TWO:
How could you be so unkind in this day and age
It won?t do you no good
Looking through the book of life, turn across the page
And hide behind your hood
You will be the lonely one if you don?t change your ways
Running away don?t mean a thing, running away will end your days
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE THREE: INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS
