i lived my life
on the banks of a river run dry
from your look
i can see that you lived there too
i see the eye
of a hurricane coming soon
i am in it's path
digging bones out from the ruins

a stranger meets me
outside of town at noon
and offers whispers of tomorrows secret news

i'll wait for yesterday
come what may
i'll wait for yesterday

a clever twist
on a story that's never been told
the weather dry
and the wind is blowing cold
rainmaker is living
in a cage beneath the ground
he's throwing trinkets
at the king who has no crown

a stranger meets me on the road at half past 2
and leaves his anger that he says i should never lose

i'll wait for yesterday
come what may
i'll wait for yesterday

i said a lot of things that i knew would grow to haunt my days
i made a lot of promises that i knew i would have to break

i need some ammunition cus the sun is going down
the random voices in my head are growing strong

i'll wait for yesterday
come what may
i'll wait for yesterday
