Yesterday s Child - Patti Scialfa

Anna in a foreign blue

Yesterday I saw someone

Who reminded me of you

And I

Held my breath and called your name

And though I knew it was not you

I followed just the same

I wanted to raise the glass

To a symphony of miles

And say our last farewell

To yesterdays child

Anna sweep the doorway clean

Lets forgive before we blame

And I

Will make my own amends

With the dust and sin

Underneath my skin

And on my maiden name

So lets raise the glass

To a symphony of miles

And say our last farewell

To yesterdays child

Anna in my dreams

I open my arms and I'm flying

Lets do some living

Forget about the dying

Anna I've done my thousand days

Now I'm walking free in time

And I still have my imaginings

Where there's no struggling

Or suffering

Just cigarettes and wine

So lets raise the glass

To a symphony of miles

And say our last farewell

To yesterdays child

To yesterdays child

So lets raise the glass

To a symphony of miles

And say our last farewell

To yesterdays child
