Yesterday's gone like the ocean
F5 A5 G5
Taken by the tide
C5 F5 C5
Like the night and the morning
F5 A5 G5
Like a bird when she flies
A5 E5
Yesterday's gone and it's only now
A5 E5
A place where today used to be
F5 C5 E5 E5
Lost in the space of forever and eternity
But tomorrow the sun will be born in
The twinkling of an eye
Father and mother of morning
Hope of today's gone by
The beginning of all that has happened
Yet the ending of all that's to be
Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing
A5 A5 F5
Ah, but I've read the book long before
D5 G5 G5 A5
I had learned how to read between the lines
Am\G5 F5 C5 E5 E5
I saw only what I could see through my eyes not my mind
A5
God it takes a long time
