“Still in Yesterday”

Verse 1]

Streetlights hum a lonesome tune,

Casting shadows in this empty room.

I watch the raindrops slide down the glass,

Counting the hours that never seem to pass.

The clock keeps swinging like a pendulum sigh,

But I’m still rooted while the world walks by.

Ooooh… I’m stuck in yesterday,

While tomorrow fades away.

The nights get colder, and the silence grows bold,

But I’m dancing with ghosts I can’t let go.

Ooooh… time slips through my hands,

Like whispers through the sand…

And I’m all alone, just waiting on a train

That’ll never come again.

The saxophone cries from a neon-lit bar,

While I trace every wrinkle like a battle scar.

I smile to strangers, but they don’t see me,

I’m just another shadow in this old melody.

And every second feels heavier than stone,

When your only company is being alone.

Ooooh… I’m stuck in yesterday,

While tomorrow fades away.

The nights get colder, and the silence grows bold,

But I’m dancing with ghosts I can’t let go.

Ooooh… time slips through my hands,

Like whispers through the sand…

And I’m all alone, just waiting on a train

That’ll never come again.

[Bridge] (Slow it down, soulful vocal runs)

Can you hear the ticking?

It’s the sound of my youth,

Slipping away while I search for the truth.

I reach for the sky but it’s too far above,

I’m a prisoner of time, and a stranger to love.

(Saxophone solo over soft upright bass & brushed drums — slow, weeping, with a hint of blues)

Ooooh… I’m stuck in yesterday,

While tomorrow fades away.

The nights get colder, and the silence grows bold,

But I’m dancing with ghosts I can’t let go.

Ooooh… time slips through my hands,

Like whispers through the sand…

And I’m all alone, just waiting on a train

That’ll never come again.

The streetlights fade, the city sleeps…

But I’m still awake, in yesterday’s dreams.
