Yesterday was a good day  
It’s after midnight and I’ve got you on my mind  
Come with me, never go away  
Every day we will fly, yeah!

Yesterday, all my troubles were so far away,  
Now it seems as if they’re here to stay.

But listen to the colour of your dreams  
It is not leaving, it is not leaving  
So play the game “Existence” to the end  
Of the beginning, of the beginning

You were meant to be here  
From the beginning

I wish I could sing it to you, oh no,  
I wish I could sing it to you.  
Mostly I’m silent.

Sometimes everything is wrong  
Now it’s time to sing along  
When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)

Faces the end of time  
As we plunge headlong towards the day  
Can’t deny the signs  
When the sun burns red  
The earth will turn from blue to gray

I can never be the same again;  
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,  
I’ll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,  
Colours I can feel by touching you

Colours fly away from you,  
Lost in valid wondering,  
Angels fly their camoflage,  
Darkness that is shattered by the dawn.

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head  
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

And I’m calling all angels  
I’m calling all you angels

Just call me angel of the morning angel  
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby  
Just call me angel of the morning angel  
Then slowly turn away from me

[Heh, that’s from the same Moodies’ song, you two…OK…]

Admit what you’re feeling  
And see what’s in front of you,  
It’s never out of your sight.  
You know it’s true,  
We all know that it’s true.

[More like me getting ninja’d by a minute]

I’m hooked on a feeling  
I’m high on believing  
That you’re in love with me

See the doors about to swing both ways  
See the answer mirrored in her gaze  
Then you know that you’re caught in the shadow of love

P.s. Ooka shaka ooka shaka ooo ooo ooo!

So I stand at the crossroad, baby  
Wondering which way to go  
Too many people  
Standing in the shadow of love
