Geoffrey Raines - Fredericksburg
Yesterday's A Long Long Time Ago

Dear future me
Come read my naive innocence
How we cried for Henry Blake
Then we drank with Friends
Since your books are old and worn
I can assume
You’re the only adult left in the room
But now you show up late
And you blame it on a phone
Painting scenes you only see in poems
You can say that we’re not lost but I know
Yesterday’s a long long time ago

I’d help you jump your shadow
If you’d ask
I guess we probably came
Too far to fast
But my gramophone is stuck
In the piling sands
While all this “news” keeps rushing
Right to your hands
So much so that none of it is true
While men like me
We fought for what we knew
You can say its all for show but I know
Yesterday’s a long long time ago

The spiders said the web
Would set you free
But that highway’s just their trap
For you and me
You can say you'll walk away
But I know
Yesterday’s a long long time ago
