Yesterday's Child

Anna In a foreign blue Yesterday I saw someone Who reminded me of you And I Held my breath And called your name And though I knew it was not you I followed just the same I wanted to raise the glass To a symphony of miles And say our last farewell To yesterday's child Anna Sweep the doorway clean Let's forgive Before we blame And I Will make my own amends With the dust and sin Underneath my skin And on my maiden name Chorus: So let's raise the glass To a symphony of miles And say our last farewell To yesterday's child Anna In my dreams I open my arms And I'm flying Let's do some living Forget about the dying Anna I've done my thousand days Now I'm walking free in time And I Still have my imaginings Where there's no struggling Or suffering Just cigarettes and wine (Chorus)
