Yesterday's Tomorrow

A place called someday  Is no day at all. Just a corner of oval darkness Shadowing shapes with no shape to fall. Darkness as deep, As a perfect storm's squalls.  I wish I'd seen this side of yesterday  Before I felt darkness claw.  And on this side of tomorrow  I still have a chance to change, So that tomorrow's yesterday Brings no memories of pain And the tomorrow that today defines  Will be yesterday's refrain. While yesterday's tomorrow  Has but one chance to win. As the darkness will fade into light And a new day will begin. Still the time that's called someday Has no time to blend. While tomorrow's yesterday  Is only yesterday's today And tomorrow, yesterday Is but a memory away. The shadow of tomorrow  Is what we call today And yesterday keeps me dreaming of a time known only as someday. And tomorrow may never come my way If I'm only looking for that time called someday. So don't be deceived by "someday's" lies Tomorrow exists not And yesterday has died So today is the only chance you'll have To live your life.
