The moon's not more than a fine line tonight
I've had a beer and I guess that's why I'm here
But fine wine tonight just wouldn't taste right
Visions that jump from the corners of my eye
Could be you looking for answers I've lost
And I'm cold and I'm bleak, a winter indeed
But it's better than trying to sleep while I toss
Chorus:
Cause yesterday's rising like the moon in the sky
And I've just begun to ask myself why
We were born, we were bred to be together this life
But yesterday's rising
And I won't sleep tonight
I'm trying not to think of the words exchanged
Or, worse, the hurt belied by looks unspoken
But my mind's so crowded I can't seem to work it out
Meanwhile I forgot the cigarette I was smoking
When minutes of thought fail to uncover the answer
I turn back, defeated, to trudge towards the light
The engine of each car out on the road
Could still be you, returning from flight
Chorus:
Cause yesterday's rising like the moon in the sky
And I've just begun to ask myself why
We were born, we were bred to be together this life
But yesterday's rising
And I won't sleep tonight
Each thought of yesterday
Leads to another silent prayer
The emptiness I feel's never been this real
I'm empty...empty
Chorus:
Cause yesterday's rising like the moon in the sky
And I've just begun to ask myself why
We were born, we were bred to be together this life
But yesterday's rising
And I won't sleep tonight
