  			G                            D/F#  
Blue eyes looking through an old grey curtain 
    C                   G  
Somebody forgot to pull down 
                   D/F#  
Spiderweb memories hidding for certain 
    C               G  
The lonely faces of clowns 

G                    D/F# 
Running on beaches surrounded by leeches 
    C                     G  
You never see children at play 
                 D/F#  
If there’s no tomorrow for us then 
C               G   
I’ll live yesterdays 

Was love the stranger that stood in the doorway 
And begged us to come in 
Hungry and eager we run to the keyhole 
And listened for voices of friends 

People were lying and people were crying 
we never heard children at play 
If there’s no tomorrow for us then 
I’ll live yesterdays 

Right in the wing of a (?) 
Indifferent is what you’ll be 
Lay on the floor and let the forhands touch you 
And two of the hands will be me 

No one is coming yet someone is coming 
Oh could it be children to play 
If there’s no tomorrow for us then 
I’ll live yesterdays 

Dark is the cannyon when life is beginning  
And secrets are easy to keep 
Soft is the baby that’s resting inside you 
So take it while is assleep 

The knives that have touched you when others have touched you 
Have taken our children away 
If there’s no tomorrow for us then 
I’ll live yesterdays 

Love is the night take has taken you from me 
And strangers are stealing my sleep 
Ciggarette mountains and fantasy fountains 
And I lay me down a week 

But something inside me cannot be denied me 
There must be some children to play 
If there’s no tomorrow for us then 
I’ll live yesterdays
