Yes.today

capo 3 C F Am G

yesterday, I saw a face, I hadn't seen, for fifteen years.
Yesterday, she came by my place, and said to me, are you still here?
Well I guess that I haven't changed
but she still knew my name
I guess things for me are the same
I still play games and hide from the rain.

Today she stopped by to see
whatever happened to me
She went away to walk the earth
But I remain here since my birth
I suppose everything had to go
the fear for love, for her to grow
I lost everyone that I know
Yet there she is, out my window.

For fifteen years, I lived in the dark
A broken corner a shattered heart
she said to me, please take my hand
I hope you can one day understand
and the joy of a child flooded in me
I saw the world in cleaner air
Smelt the freshness from the sea
I hope you forgive me
for giving up life
until you came back to me

bird

Today I looked out the window of the bus. And out of the window I saw a cluster of birds. And that cluster of birds sat perched on a wire. And upon looking at the cluster on the wire, one flew off. And I thought to myself that of all the birds in all the world of all the buses with all the people I happened to see this one. And of all the expressions I may have worn, I longed to be that bird that flew away into the sky. Somewhere in the world, a bird sat perched on a wire. This bird saw a busy road where he was looking for food. And of all the cars in all the world he saw a bus. And of all the windows on that bus he saw my window. And of all the people in that particular window he saw me. And of all the expressions carried by people he did not understand any of them, but he longed to be a person and flew off in despair.
