But I was crabby yesterday
But I won't cry for yesterday
But I won't die for yesterday
But I won't cry for yesterday
But I won’t fly for yesterday
But I won’t cry for yesterday
Came in from a rainy Thursday, Olney Avenue, thought
I heard you talking softly
Came in from the rainy Thursday on the avenue,
thought I heard you talking softly
Crazy some say.
Crazy some would say.
Crazy summer days
Crazy some would say
Crazy summer sale
Crazy, some would say.
Crazy summers day
Crazy, some would say.
Crazy, some are saying.
Crazy, some would say.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy me
Ours is just a little sorrow torn.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy me
Ours is just a little sorrow, John
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Here beside the news of holy war and holy me
Ours is just a little sorrow, at all.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk.
Here beside the news of holy water and holy need
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
I don't carp for yesterday
I won't cry for yesterday.
I turn up the lights the TV and the radio.
Still why can't anything because of you.
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio.
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.
I won't grapple yesterday.
I won't cry for yesterday.
Left me in the back, you mark my heart
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
Left me in the bathroom of my heart
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
Ours is just a little sorrow gone
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
There's an old and hairy worm
There's an ordinary world
There's an ordinary one
There's an ordinary world
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to fight
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
What is happening to it all?
Crazy summer sun
Where is the light that I recognise?
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the life that I recognize?
