Like an August flower
We saw the hours
Falling like pedals to the floor
Senses gone numb
Babe could not hold on
To tomorrows promise anymore

Now I'm feeling
Like I need sometime
Now I need sometime to wander to yesterday
Coz I can't take it
I think I've lost my mind
From all the innocence that was lost yesterday

Gone last december
Memories linger
Never thought my bird would fly away
Words left unspoken
Now my heart is choking
In a pool of pity and shame

Now I'm feeling
Like I need sometime
Now I need sometime to wander to yesterday
Coz I can't take it
I think I'm going blind
From all the innocence that was
Lost in yesterday
Lost in yesterday

And she said to me
As she took the hands of death
My wounds won't stop bleeding
And I smell of brokeness
My angel sighed
As she whispered her last breath
Forgive me father I'm fleeing now
Was all that she said

Have you ever wondered
Why what's undiscovered
Seems to run so hard against the grain
All that you know ain't enough to show
Tomorrow may not bring about today

Now I'm feeling
Like I need sometime
Now I need sometime to wander to yesterday
I can't feel it
I think I've lost my mind
From all the innocence that was lost in yesterday
I can't feel it
