Lyrics — Yesterday Went Missing …

Verse
Awaken this morning to sounds of pouring rain,
Feeling a chill drifting through the air
Dismissing delusions clouding my brain,
Knowing yesterday had gone missing ….
Missing.

Lit a cigarette to steady my hand
Wondering what happened to dreams I once dreamed
Of mysteries I planned to uncover —
Searching for answers to explain why time went missing ….
Missing.

Thunder echoes through a darkening sky
Interrupting the pleasures I wanted to discover —
Never seeing years disappearing
Only emptiness comes calling when the stars go missing ….
Missing.

Yesterday the world laid at my feet,
No challenge or dare I feared to greet,
Unaware the scent of blooms turned bittersweet —
Not knowing days turned away, Until tomorrow went missing ….
Missing.

Chorus
I long to know
Where your dreams go —
Do they still play on,
After that last rainbow
Comes to steal the show.
