"Song Of Yesterday" lyrics - JOE BONAMASSA

I hold the passion
For many years I would listen
The heavy weight upon my chest
Like a wailing wall

Code of silence of a dying heart
Don't know where the end begins and the truth starts
When the hammer falls it falls on you
I sit here waiting, waiting

I pull back the veil and I just can't breathe
And I fly away, fly away
Like a song of yesterday

Freezing night an oil lamp burns
The suns fire will soon return
Broken castles, the flags still flown
Like a living ghost

Code of silence of a dying heart
Don't know where the end begins and the truth starts
When the hammer falls it falls on you
I sit here waiting, waiting

I pull back the veil and I just can't breathe
And I fly away
Break it down, so low you don't know where you been
Try a little harder, now you're the drunk mad man in jail

I fly away
Gonna fly away
Gonna fly away
I'm reaching out
Like a song from yesterday
