YOKO ONO - A Thousand Times Yes lyrics

rate me

I said yes, I said yes, I said yes,<br>I prayed a thousand times yes.<br>And the no that was hanging over the buildings<br>Faded like the moon at dawn.<br><br>When I was young I thought I was facing<br>A very aware world ahead,<br>I didn't know it was going to be<br>Beware of dogs instead.<br><br>I said no, I said no, I said no,<br>I said no a million times to no.<br>But the yes that was in it's last breath<br>Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu.<br><br>When I was young I didn't know<br>That one can only read life in braille,<br>I was still struggling to catch life on it's tail.<br><br>I said why, I said why, I said why,<br>I asked why for the billionth time.<br>And my bone slowly lost it's moist<br>Like a leftover coke bottle on the street.<br><br>Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing on the square,<br>That's my bone.<br>It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud,<br>Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard.<br><br>I said yes, I said yes, I said yes,<br>I prayed a thousand times yes.<br>And the no that was hanging over faded.
