Yesterday

Yesterday, 

Sunday morning seemed so far away

I’ve been asked to give a talk today

Oh, haven’t thought, of what to say

Suddenly, 

can’t hold back the urge to turn and flee

Everyone is staring right at me

Oh, Bishop ____, especially

Why did I accept?

Wish I’d never said, “OK”

My ears, really burn

How I yearn for yesterday!

Yesterday, 

It was planned to have three people talk

Two dropped out, it came as quite a shock

There’s one full hour left on the clock

Why they didn’t show

I don't know, they didn’t say

What more could go wrong?

How I long for yesterday

Yesterday, 

Life was perfect, well, at least okay

Now I want somewhere to hide away

Please take me back to yesterday

Hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
