Lyrics:

Standing in the pouring rain, I'm waiting for the midnight train
Just arrived, but now I'm off again
Smoking lots of cigarettes, they ain't gonna do us yet
All I am is good enough now
There's no time to think about the one you leave behind
Certainty, it's been without perhaps another time
Yet, I wish today was yesterday
Oh, I wish (I wish) today was yesterday
Had myself a love affair, it meant so much I didn't care
Instead, I often left it behind
Had no time to make a call, sure that time would fix it all
What's the use to try to fall around?
There's no time to think about the one you leave behind
Certainty, it's been without perhaps another time
Yet, I wish today was yesterday
Oh, I wish (I wish) today was yesterday

Yesterday when life was sweet, love was never incomplete
It was a joy, not a fear to share
Today, it's only hate and war, blood and sins we all forego
Still, we're purchasing for God
There's no time to think about the one you leave behind
Certainty, it's been without perhaps another time
Yet, I wish today was yesterday
Oh, I wish (I wish) today was yesterday
