YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW
YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW
(T. Beechey)
Yesterday we just begun
Tomorrow even though
I'm not here, you'll be on the run
You won't miss me if I go
Yesterday we were as one
Tomorrow you will glow
In the effervescence of your fun
You won't miss me if I go
You say you'll weep
But it's untrue
You say that sleep
Won't come to you
You say you'll lie awake
And cry
Which only makes
Me wonder why
Yesterday was a work of art
Tomorrow all the dough
Shaped and sculpted falls apart
You won't miss me as I go
Yesterday we shared a heart
Tomorrow I'm your foe
Finished before its chance to start
You won't miss me as I go
You say you'll sob
But it's so contrived
You say I'll rob
Your will to thrive
You say I'll always be
Your prince
Which only leaves me
Less convinced
Yesterday you were my queen
Tomorrow winds shall blow
The castle into smithereens
You won't miss me should I go
Yesterday I was your scene
Tomorrow won't be so
You'll forget that I've ever been
You won't miss me should I go
You say you will
But it's all a lie
You say that tears shall fill
Your eyes
You say that things
Won't be the same
Which only brings
Upon you shame
Yesterday I came into view
Tomorrow I won't show
And you'll never have a clue
You won't miss me when I go
Yesterday I was brand new
Tomorrow you won't know
That I even passed on through
You won't miss me when I go
