Between Today And Yesterday

He'll never see his mother's face
Or feel his father's hand
Who can you show when you succeed
In never-never land?

He's afraid to have his fortune told
For fear what it might mean
He doesn't want the picture drawn
Of things he has to dream

Between today and yesterday is like a million years
And the only truthful man he's seen was standing there in tears

Believe in me, his saviour said
And you will be redeemed
But alas, abdullah, his savior fell
He wasn't what he seemed

Now the only happy man he's seen
Was guilty but insane
And he laughed and danced because he knew
That his watchers felt the blame

Between today and yesterday is like a million years
And the only truthful man he's seen was standing there in tears

Beware,the mirror on the wall gets less friendly with passing time
Enough, I said enough, just draw the shades
Please let me drink black wine

Yes, I know it's the ending
You can leave it all to me...
