This is the song I dreamed I was helping John Lennon record.
Can we go back to where we were tomorrow yesterday?
I wasn't finished wandering, there wasn't time to play
You say there's lots of work to do
And lots of bills to pay
Okay
We'll be back again someday
Can I have my feelings back tomorrow yesterday?
I really wasn't happy when you took them all away
I don't know where you've taken them
I really couldn't say
Okay
They'll be back again someday
Can I have my memories back tomorrow yesterday?
I need to understand the depth of my naiveté
And after all the things I'm looking through,
You want them right away
Okay
I'll have to make it up someday
Can we have the future back tomorrow yesterday?
I wasn't finished dreaming of a place where I could stay
You say that dreams are pointless,
So I've nothing more to say
Okay
I'll be back again someday
Snippets
I've been having difficulty with the bridge. I think first one (new) seems a bit closer to satisfactory:
- See the church, and see the steeple
- See all the rituals in play
- But can you just imagine all the people
- Living for today?
- So here's the church, and here's the steeple
- Everyone goes in to pray
- But can you just imagine all the people
- Living for today?
- Everyone gathers beneath the steeple
- Working on their spirit's résumé
- But can you just imagine all the people
- Living for today?
- You might gather in beneath the steeple
- To build your soul's curriculum vitae
- But can you just imagine all the people
- Living for today?
