Literature: Yesterday's Tomorrow

Yesterday’s tomorrow has faded into today
Sitting here alone gazing at the setting sun
There’s really not that much to see
Just a rosy sky fainting…
Fainting bit by bit into darkness…

A fading sun like our fading minds
Where has yesterday’s dreams flown to?

We were promised tomorrow’s glow
Where has tomorrow’s glow flown to?
When did the spirit of tomorrow
Decay into the monotony of today?

Yesterday’s tomorrow has faded into today
Sitting here alone gazing at the setting sun
There’s really not that much to see
Just a rosy sky fainting…
Fainting bit by bit into darkness…

Yesterday’s dream was a brilliant sun
A shining vision, a world changed anew
Only now we can truly see
The same world has changed us

Our dreams were but idle illusions
Reality smeared our childhood fancies
We tried so hard for a better tomorrow
Only now realizing

Yesterday’s tomorrow has faded into today
Sitting here alone gazing at the setting sun
There’s really not that much to see
Just a rosy sky fainting…
Fainting bit by bit into darkness…

A fading sun like my fading mind
Where has yesterday’s dreams flown to?
