Lyrics:
Talk of yesterday and she will show her
Brothers photographed in callous clothes
Say tomorrow and she'll say "Come find me
On a beach and there will be no moon."
But say today
She may kiss your face
And maybe forget
Talk of yesterday like bargain shoe strings
She will kick the car and find her friends
Say tomorrow and then she'll describe some
Old communion cups and someone's coat
But say today
She will look your way
And lead you home
