Is it maybe a just little too late

To take us back to a time inchoate

Where peace reigned in the village

And our memories would not pillage

The innocence of only just yesterday

Before all these troubles came our way

The problem you say is that just only

That nostalgia is for the lost and lonely

And not for those who bold in heart

Leave yesterday behind as they depart

Knowing nothing close to sweet sorrow

As they strive for their better tomorrow

But for those like me, we find our reach

Only as long as yesterday’s sandy beach
