Well Heaven rode my back
And the angels dragged my throne.
Only yesterday.
Only yesterday
I carved out your name.
Only yesterday
I built you a shrine
On the side of the road.
And I shut my eyes
And laid my hands to rest.
In dreams
There's a way
To die.
Well I towed you from the wreck
Of dimming shadows in my head
Only yesterday.
Only yesterday
I laid you to rest.
Only yesterday
I wept for your shape
In it's endless decay.
And I raised your voice from a stone
With the song of the dead.
In dreams
There's a way
To die.
And the angels dragged my throne.
Only yesterday.
Only yesterday
I carved out your name.
Only yesterday
I built you a shrine
On the side of the road.
And I shut my eyes
And laid my hands to rest.
In dreams
There's a way
To die.
Well I towed you from the wreck
Of dimming shadows in my head
Only yesterday.
Only yesterday
I laid you to rest.
Only yesterday
I wept for your shape
In it's endless decay.
And I raised your voice from a stone
With the song of the dead.
In dreams
There's a way
To die.
