Yester Years Songtext
von Girish and The Chronicles

A lonely bench in a park so crowded
The autumn leaves, by and by they fall
A flicker in your desolate soul
As you stare down at your shoes
At you a memory stabs
A nagging feeling of disposition
How many years have come and passed?
And yet here you are again
Alone by the Cupid fountain
Waiting for something to change the world from stalling

Just open your eyes
That′s all you've gotta do to make it all simple
Give life another chance
And please don′t give in
'Cause you know you've gotta make it to the other side of the fence
Where you can see the green fields of paradise


She′d say hey and laugh, a friendly punch to the shoulder
Now he doesn′t even know your name
She'd smile and wave, help with the homework the other day
Now she′s gone so far away
While you sit here waiting day after day
The lonely bench, the empty crowd
The fall, just another reminder
The song is gone like the dew of the early morn
Like the childhood of the early dawn

Just open your eyes
That's all you′ve gotta do to make it all simple
Give life another chance
And please don't give in
′Cause you know you've gotta make it to the other side of the fence
Yeah!

The wait is the same, year after year
The dismal wait, the parking bench
The broken Cupid fountain
The fallen leaves withered away
Like your thoughts going astray
Not the summer back in the day

Not that summer back in the day
The childish pranks and the merry games
Now they've found a way, climbed up to a fame
Lost what once meant the world to them, yeah
And yet you′ll wait the day to see
That you live to search for a sail
A sail of hope to take you away


Just open your eyes
That′s all you've gotta do to make it all simple
Give life another chance
And please don′t give in
'Cause you know you′ve gotta make it to the other side of the fence
Hey! Yeah! To the other side of the fence
