Yesterday

Hold back the years

hold back time

how many new wrinkles

can i find .



Oh how i long for yesterday

i can remember running barefoot

down a dirt road just after a rain

stepping in the puddles.



I can remember the warm water

on my feet,flying kites,riding

a bus for the first time.



Going to a saturday matinee

watching two or three movies

staying all day.



A golden glove boxer, a basketball star,

Oh but those days seem so far.,



But i long to be there again

just once more before the end.

oh how i long for yesterday...
