Someday
This is the song I dreamed I was helping John Lennon record.
Can we go back 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
See the church, and see the steeple
See all the rituals in play
But can you just imagine all the people
Living for today?
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
