A Lonely Bird

Yeserday Has Flown

There was a time I could possess anything
but could never have what I wanted
All the tricks and all the spells
only served to bind myself

She refused my diamonds and
she would not have my gold
so my anger made me into
a lake deep and cold
yet, every day would rise
a single feather to the sky

When I stood a raven high atop the trees
searching for one who could restore my peace
Now the third chime has past with my heart pierced through
take my feathered body and cast me into the depths

She refused my diamonds and
she would not have my gold
so my anger made me into
a lake deep and cold
yet, every day would rise
a single feather to the sky
but today I’m whole

Yesterday has flown
so take her with you
You’ll have lives of your own
and a love that’s true

Today I’m whole
