Yesterday Again

Patrick Cannell © 1996

In the morning when the Sun comes up,
I take my towel and I take my cup
And go down to the stream,
I go down to the stream
And dream.

In the desert when the heat gets high,
Through the needle of a camel's eye,
I go down to the well,
I go down to the well
As well.

My one mistake was to awake.

To the palisades of ancient Rome
Caesar's calling all the armies home,
I go down to the sea
I go down to the sea
To see.

Watch the archangel who broke the seal
Press his nose against the stainless steel,
I go down to the floor,
I go down to the floor
For more.

My one mistake was to awake.

Yesterday again.
It feels like yesterday again.
