A Thousand Yesterdays

[Verse 1]
The tar hums low, a whispering sigh,
Each note a tear for days gone by.
The sun sets slow, a golden haze,
Fading shadows of a thousand yesterdays.

[Chorus]
A thousand yesterdays, they call my name,
Each one a candle in love's fragile flame.
I chase their glow, but they slip away,
Leaving me lost in this twilight gray.

[Verse 2]
Your voice, it lingers like a ghost,
In the echoes where I miss you most.
A fleeting glance, a smile undone,
A story ended before it begun.

[Prechorus]
Regret and longing weave their art,
A quiet storm within my heart.

[Chorus]
A thousand yesterdays, they call my name,
Each one a candle in love's fragile flame.
I chase their glow, but they slip away,
Leaving me lost in this twilight gray.

[Bridge]
Oh, the tar still plays its mournful tune,
Under the wistful eye of the moon.
And though the world has turned the page,
My heart remains in its gilded cage.
