Lyrics

over the thousand
miles of the beige beyond
the glowing horizon,
flashed the black sky like the sun
turning my head, they were gone.
when up from the ground rose a wave
no time for them to turn and run

and yesterday's gone now
washed away down
hollows we made for the day
but now we look for the sun
cause yesterday's gone
never to come again

tuesday we waited for light to move on
burning and sleepless we might think upon
those we left, they're flying home
but not the way wives once were told
by moneyed men who grow old and run

and yesterday's gone now
washed away down
turn all your guns to the sky tonight
and look for the sun
cause yesterday's gone

it's gone
forever to run
and ever to run

yesterday's gone now
washed away down
hollows we made for the day
