Yesterday Is Here

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.

Well 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,
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
and 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

Tom Waits
