What is Gone

I know a man who only talks on rotary phones
Full of numbers, memories and poems
He knows what tomorrow will bring
Tomorrow can bring

I know a man with a head for machines
He’s got stories, he’s got digital dreams
He’s thinking on yesterday
Thinking of yesterday

I know a girl who says all she needs
Is a husband, a home, a family
She knows what tomorrow will bring
Tomorrow can bring

I know a girl who’s got it all
Strength and beauty, she’s got lovers at her beck and call
She’s thinking on yesterday
Thinking of yesterday

In my days here I have tried to match my head
To my heart and to my lungs, to my legs
To hold what tomorrow will bring
Tomorrow can bring

For the last time I surrender for a song
And the next time I will be long gone
Thinking on yesterday
Thinking of yesterday
