Well, I shook the hand of a weeping sparrow And heard the most beautiful tune Laid myself down upon a field of flowers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday's blues And I walked in circles confused and scattered And stumbled around as a fool Lost in the maze of veins in my heart 'Til I woke up unconscious with you And let go of yesterday's blues 'Cause you have a way that lets me breathe And you have a way that sets me free And you have a heart that can see right through The bitterness of my yesterday's blues Down in a city of shelters and shambles
I thought I had nothing to lose I took for granted the wise words of strangers And gambled until I was through And lost all of yesterday's blues 'Cause you have a way that sets me free And you have a way that lets me breathe And you have a heart that can see right through The bitterness of my yesterday's blues Well, I shook the hand of the deepest sorrow And waved a goodbye just to lose Laid myself down below the endless towers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday's blues
