An issue of singular importance
<br />A matter of great concern
<br />Curiously I listened
<br />And a map he handed me
<br />
<br />Yellow brown and tattered
<br />It was I held it in my hand
<br />And from it came the smell of age
<br />He began to tell me of his plan
<br />
<br />A driven man was he
<br />In need to silence the call
<br />He asked me would I go
<br />To fly even to fall
<br />
<br />For a moment I considered
<br />But like St. Thomas I drew back
<br />My friend he uttered golden words
<br />I would not join him in his task
<br />
<br />It’s always about yesterday, let it be for today
<br />
<br />I went on from day to day
<br />In the rut that was my life
<br />Play it safe that’s the best way
<br />Such is the advice from my wife
<br />
<br />The last time I saw my friend
<br />He had fortune and fame
<br />What a terrible pity
<br />What a terrible shame
<br />
<br />What decisions are the right ones
<br />What offers should I turn down
<br />I guess I’ll never learn my lesson
<br />There’s never time like now
<br />There’s never time like now
<br />
<br />It’s always about yesterday, let it be for today<br /><br />
