Hold back the days in which I'm living
So far from home, so far from free
Hold back the way we've all been given
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me

Hold back the days in which I'm living
So far from home, so far from free
Hold back the way we've all been given
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me

If we should meet like ships a-passing
Some stormy night upon the blue
We may not speak, but for the asking
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over you

Hold back the days in which I'm living
So far from home, so far from free
Hold back the way we've all been given
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me

When it seems your dreams ain't worth the dreaming
When you can't find you way through
And when your schemes ain't worth the scheming
Just let a sweet song from yesterday wash over you

Hold back the days in which I'm living
So far from home, so far from free
Hold back the way we've all been given
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me
And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me
