Yesterday's Stories of Tomorrow

A candle flickers, her shadows dance upon the wall
And a crumpled newspaper sheds a tear for the fears of the world
'Another coffee,' she says, 'another coffee for our souls,
And we'll wait, to sleep with the dawn'

She holds her cigarette like we always used to do
Lets the ash fall to the floor
She's reading yesterday's papers, while she tells me of tomorrow
But I've heard it all before, f
or it's the same dreams we had last year...

It's been a bad year
And the fallout, is tearing you apart
But please, please don't start...

Street lights blink on through the car window
As you're driving downtown at dawn
There's a sign in the window, of the only place you know
Saying 'Please, please don't go...'
