On a night like this
Back in your hometown
On your father's front steps
With trees all around
Could have sworn when I came
Other people were here
Now it's just you and me
And the walls disappear
It gets hard to believe
In the world where I live
When everywhere that I go
Real people are so elusive
But if you say what you mean
And you mean what you say
You could make me forget
About yesterday
But somehow I never learn
From the red morning skies
Always turning to black
Inside ever-hardening eyes
All your eloquent words
So quickly faded away
With no attempt to explain
And all I have left
Is yesterday
