I know you’re in there somewhere The you that once was you Deep inside you’re hiding there The you that once I knew I see a faint light in your eye I reach for it in vain It lives a moment then it dies And you are gone again I know not what it’s like for you In that place you’ve gone to stay What things you see what things you do But I ache for yesterday.
