ASHEN MORTALITY - YESTERDAY'S GONE lyrics

rate me

Can you stay my children with me

Lost in the past these memories I see

Everyone I used to know

I've seen them all taken they each had to go

You're all I have now I am old

The world outside so bitter cold so bitter cold

Running in fields in summers distant haze

I look back to childhood's long peaceful days

Times in youth where I can never return

I remember so clearly yet at a distance I yearn

If only to step back for a time

To feel but one of the things that I thought would always be mine always be mine

I remember grandmother's face

As she recalled her younger days

She knew deep down as she spoke them to me

Alone in these memories no-one could see

Or feel with her the things she felt

The past seemed so cold my children I feared growing old I feared growing old

Can you stay my children with me

Lost in the past these memories I see

Everyone I used to know

I've seen them all taken they each had to go they had to die

Each time you leave I wish you could stay

Yesterday's gone but I still have today

If tomorrow I leave here and you see me no more

Remember I loved you as you close one more door

Each time you leave I wish you could stay

Yesterday's gone but I still have today

If tomorrow I leave here and you see me no more

Remember I loved you as you close one more door

Yesterday's gone

You're all I have now I am old

The world outside so bitter cold
