Yesterday 

Peering through the looking glass
Towards tomorrow and the past
Yesterday’s teacher, tomorrow’s lesson
Mirrors cast my own reflection

Reading lines of yesterday’s paper
Couldn’t believe the old mans caper
Sad songs singing about yesterday’s news
Worry not, for yesterday’s blues

Straight line in yesterday’s rocket
Hand on my heart and I feel the locket
My tears are born from the rhythm of my heart
And echoed tears and as I depart

My lingering light, in heavens bound
Mystic rivers gather round
Frozen footsteps among the sands of time
Passage written in my rhyme

Marvel at the stars tonight
Mystic River, cast your light
Fallen, hear my broken heart
Once I was, now I depart
