Tom Waits - Yesterday Is Here lyrics

rate me

If you want money in your pocket

You want a top hat on your head

Hot meal on your table

And a blanket on your bed,

Well today is grey skies,

Tomorrow is tears,

You'll have to wait

Til yesterday is here.

I'm a going to New York City

I'll be leaving on a train

If you wanna see me

Til I come back again,

Well today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears,

You'll have to wait till

Yesterday is here.

Now if wanna go

Where the rainbows end

You will have to say goodbye.

All our dreams come true

Baby up ahead,

In a town where your memories lie.

Now the road is out before me

And the moon is shining bright

What I want you to remember

As I disappear tonight

That today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait till

Yesterday is here.
