Dreams of Yesterday

Charlie and the Foxtrots

Lyrics

I miss my family
And nights that I could sleep
And the only thing keeping me awake
Were the dreams of yesterday

I ran from my hometown
Had a ticket out 
Now the only thing keeping me away
Are the dreams of yesterday

If I am to die
Leave behind a ragged life
Tell my story slow 
Make it sweet make it known

I washed upon your steps
Bruised and beat to hell
You hosed me down
Broken unwound
And I learned to love again

You hopped the first train home
Left me here alone
No I don't blame you 
Nor do I choose
To learn to love anew 

If I am to die
Leave behind a ragged life
Tell my story slow 
Make it sweet make it known

If I am to die
Leave behind a ragged life
Let me stay with you
Till the dark fades to blue
