Yesterdayã¢â‚¬â„¢s Child Lyrics

Yesterday’s Child (4:00)

Words:  David Crosby and James Raymond

Music:  James Raymond



I know where there’s a spring of blood and water

It bubbles up from somewhere

deep in the hearts of man



There have come whirlpools

to this place in recent times

drinking down the breath of brothers



And you might think that it’s 

your world and the rest of us

should fall away in forty

moons you might find that it belongs

to Yesterday’s Child



I wish I had been raised 

wild by wolves and padded

through a forest a thousand

years before man

Singing with my clan at two moons or

three echoing across the world

The exact sound of freedom



Repeat chorus



And if you feel that way

face the dark and fight

or keep on dreaming

cause dreams make light



In forty moons you might find

that it belongs to Yesterday’s Child
