Lock the door and close the curtain
No more lies, I'm tired of hurtin'
I think you know what I mean
There's an empty sound that lonely makes

Don't know how much more that I can take
And yesterday was just a dream
Yesterday was just a dream

[Chorus]
Nothin's ever what it seems
Tomorrow's comin' - it won't be long
Yesterday is here and gone

Words tumble out like an open book
While the world was turning, something shook
From a whisper to a scream

Rain's beatin' down on the window pane
Makes me wonder about you again
And yesterday was just a dream
Yesterday was just a dream

[Chorus]
Nothin's ever what it seems
Tomorrow's comin' - it won't be long
Yesterday is here and gone
Tell me what's it for, this life we're living
The world is cold and unforgiving
And your smile is so serene
Yesterday was just a dream

[Chorus]
Nothin's ever what it seems
Tomorrow's comin' - it won't be long
Yesterday is here and gone
Ma, it's here and gone
