Lyrics

That Was Yesterday

*Words and music by Nelson Starr, copywrite 2003


Glass of wine, these cheap cigars
Waiting in this smoky bar
But times change, the smoke poured out
I hit the streets, I?m heading south


The days were long, the nights were cold
Looking young but feeling old
I think about you all the time
But there?s no way I will rewind


I used to wait for you to call but that was yesterday
I used to save the notes you scrawled but I threw them all away
I still remember our first kiss but that was yesterday
I?m living for my own reward it?s time to make my own way


Seconds ticked, months flew by
I?d never say I never cried
Dead-end job it does me in
But it makes me strong and thick-skinned


I used to be the quiet one but that was yesterday
I used to sit until you were done but now I?ve walked away
I still recall the day we met but that was yesterday
I?ve got to get what I can get these bones are here to stay
