i called your sister
to make sure you're all right
but she told me that you stepped out for the night
so i thought of all the places you could be
and your irish eyes of green

and her father turned slowly into light
for the hardest five years
of her family life
she was lonely so she came to spend the night
in my house, in my bed, with me
in my house in my bed with me

yesterday, tomorrow
days of joy and sorrow

yesterday, tomorrow
tears of joy and sorrow

yesterday, tomorrow
songs of joy and sorrow

yesterday, tomorrow
waves of joy and sorrow
