Yesterday's Child

Anna
In a foreign blue
Yesterday I saw someone
Who reminded me of you
And I
Held my breath
And called your name
And though I knew it was not you
I followed just the same
I wanted to raise the glass
To a symphony of miles
And say our last farewell
To yesterday's child

Anna
Sweep the doorway clean
Let's forgive
Before we blame
And I
Will make my own amends
With the dust and sin
Underneath my skin
And on my maiden name

Chorus:
So let's raise the glass
To a symphony of miles
And say our last farewell
To yesterday's child

Anna
In my dreams
I open my arms
And I'm flying
Let's do some living
Forget about the dying

Anna
I've done my thousand days
Now I'm walking free in time
And I
Still have my imaginings
Where there's no struggling
Or suffering
Just cigarettes and wine

(Chorus)
