A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field Once surrounded by the walls of work By laughter and by love The sound of children playing And the sound of people saying I love you--yeah you
A crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field Barely rooted in the browns and greys Of earth that once was green A place long since forgotten In a world of yesterday Except by me--yeah me
And Oh--whose plan was this anyway And I never thought He would want it to be that way
It once was beautiful--Right Here It still is beautiful--In Here You once were beautiful--I hear I hear it can be beautiful Just remember
A twisted little image in your perfect little world Of the chapter where itd all begun About a song already sung Burnt around the edges Nearly faded--nearly gone Even you--yeah you
A shiny building standing in the center of today Where indifferent people go to work Go about their pay Knowing they've forgotten In a most convenient way Yesterday--away
