It’s Yesterday Somewhere ©2017 Robert George BMI

Well, it’s way past midnight
And my window frames a misty moon
Mem’ries take me backwards
While shadows crawl across the room
And my hand’s around a bottle
Like the hands of time around my soul
Tomorrow’s growing distant
And the night is growing old

Though she’s prob’ly half a world away by now
I can make the world turn back somehow
She might be in some chic café
On Tortuga Bay
But if I look behind me I will find her there
Cos it’s still yesterday
It’s still yesterday somewhere

There’s a happy picture
By the old clock on the mantelpiece
But the whiskey is afraid,
That photo will soon fade
When the morning rises from the east

And she’s prob’ly half a world away by now
I can make the world turn back somehow
She might be on some Nassau beach
Where my pay can’t reach
But if I look behind me I will find her there
Cos it’s still yesterday
It’s still yesterday somewhere

I look around this empty room
And curse the loneliness I see
Then I rewind, the sad movie of time
And talk her into staying with me

Though I know she’s half a world away by now
I can make the world turn back somehow
She’s prob’ly on some private jet
Far from bills and debt
But if I look behind me I will find her there
Cos it’s still yesterday
It’s still yesterday somewhere

It’s still yesterday somewhere
It’s still yesterday somewhere
Some where
Somewhere….
