The Walkabouts - Yesterday Is Here lyrics

( written by tom waits and kathleen brennan ) If you want money in your pocket And a top hat on your head A hot meal on your table And a blanket on your bed Well today is grey skies Tomorrow is tears You'll have to wait til yesterday is here I'm going to new york city And i'm leaving on a train And if you want to stay behind and wait Til i come back again Well today is grey skies And tomorrow is tears You'll have to wait til yesterday is here If you want to go Where the rainbows end You'll have to say goodbye All our dreams come true Baby up ahead And it's out where your memories lie Well the road's out before me The moon is shining bright What i want you to remember As i disappear tonight Today is grey skies Tomorrow is tears You'll have to wait til yesterday is here
