A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field

Once surrounded by the walls of work

By laughter and by love

The sound of children playing

And the sound of people saying

I love you yeah you

A crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field

Barely rooted in the browns and greys

Of earth that once was green

A place long since forgotten

In a world of yesterday

Except by me yeah me



And Oh--whose plan was this anyway

And I never thought He would want it to be that way



It once was beautiful--Right Here

It still is beautiful--In Here

You once were beautiful--I hear

I hear it can be beautiful

Just remember



A twisted little image in your perfect little world

Of the chapter where itd all begun

About a song already sung

Burnt around the edges

Nearly faded--nearly gone

Even you--yeah you



A shiny building standing in the center of today

Where indifferent people go to work

Go about their pay

Knowing they've forgotten

In a most convenient way

Yesterday--away

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus-Chorus
