A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field
Once surrounded by the walls of work
By laughter and by love
The sound of children playing
And the sound of people saying
I love you--yeah you
A crooked tree stands naked near the
center of the field
Barely rooted in the browns and greys
Of earth that once was green
A place long since forgotten
In a world of yesterday
Except by me--yeah me
And Oh--whose plan was this anyway
And I never thought He would want it to be that way
It once was beautiful--Right Here
It still is beautiful--In Here
You once were beautiful--I hear
I hear it can be beautiful
Just remember
A twisted little image in your perfect little world
Of the chapter where itd all begun
About a song already sung
Burnt around the edges
Nearly faded--nearly gone
Even you--yeah you
A shiny building standing in the center of today
Where indifferent people go to work
Go about their pay
Knowing they've forgotten
In a most convenient way
Yesterday--away
