Lock the door and close the curtain
No more lies, I'm tired of hurtin'
I think you know what I mean
There's an empty sound that lonely makes

Don't know how much more that I can take
And yesterday was just a dream
Yesterday was just a dream

Nothing's ever what it seems
Tomorrow's comin' it won't be long
Yesterday is here and gone

Words tumble out like an open book
While the world was turning, something shook
From a whisper to a scream

Rain's beatin' down on the window pane
Makes me wonder about you again
And yesterday was just a dream
Yesterday was just a dream

Nothin's ever what it seems
Tomorrow's comin' it won't be long
Yesterday is here and gone

Tell me what's it for, this life we're living
The world is cold and unforgiving
And your smile is so serene
Yesterday was just a dream

Nothin's ever what it seems
Tomorrow's comin' it won't be long
Yesterday is here and gone
Ma, it's here and gone
