Coffeesmoke - Streets Of Yesterday

As he walked again the streets of yesterday
He knew things couldn't be the same old way
All the places there had changed
On the road to Sleepy Lane
Where was Becky, where was Bill and BJT
The apple tree

All the desks they had initialed then were gone
And there was no trace of being there at all
And a tear came to his eye
As he passed the college by
Filled with strangers living there behind stone walls
Storied halls

He saw a girl from a dream long ago
Her dress was red and the ground white with snow
And her smile followed him
As he tried to remember
Her last words of love

And he heard the whistle blow in Old Court Square
And he ran to catch his breath and buy trainfare
As the train from memory fled
He heard Charlie, Bruce, and Ed
Calling to him from the streets of yesterday
Yesterday
