Yesterday's Child Lyrics

Artist: Patti Scialfa
Album: 23rd Street Lullaby

Annain a foreign blue
yesterday I saw someone
who reminded me of you
and Ibr>
held my breath and called your name
and though I knew it was not you
I followed just the samebr>
I wanted to raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child

Annasweep the doorway clean
Let's forgive before we blame
and Ibr>
will make my own amends
with the dust and sin
underneath my skin
and on my maiden name

So let's raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child

Annain my dreams
I open my arms and I'm flying
let's do some living
forget about the dyingbr>

AnnaI've done my thousand days
now I'm walking free in time
and Istill have my imaginings
where there's no strugglingbr>
or suffering
just cigarettes and winebr>

So let's raise the glass
to a symphony of miles
and say our last farewell
to yesterday's child
