  that was yesterday
  
  know it's late and love has left me in this empty room
  should i gaze into the coming storm?
  when i face the lies i need a drink to get me by
  and i taste the tears in your eyes
  when the dust finally settles it's just you and me
  on a journey to somewhere - i know we will find the way
  there were days we were living and feeling so free
  in our hearts there was meaning so how can it be?
  can you tell me why the sun don't shine?
  can you tell me why you left me blind?
  will you give me back again what's mine?
  cause i'll be waiting
  can you tell me why you ran away?
  were you looking for a better way?
  to confront the life that you've betrayed
  but that was yesterday - yesterday
  should i close the door on all the things that seem so right?
  in my mind i shove them all away
  when the day is done i try to wash the hurt inside
  cause it makes me feel some kind of happiness
  when the dust finally settles it's just you and me
  on a journey to somewhere - i know we will find the way
  there were days we were living and feeling so free
  in our hearts there was meaning so how can it be?
  can you tell me why the sun don't shine?
  can you tell me why you left me blind?
  will you give me back again what's mine?
  cause i'll be waiting
  can you tell me why you ran away?
  were you looking for a better way?
  to confront the life that you've betrayed
  but that was yesterday - and i'm still here waiting, oh:
  oh, please tell me why
  can you tell me why the sun don't shine?
  can you tell me why you left me blind?
  will you give me back again what's mine?
  cause i'm still waiting for you
  can you tell me why you ran away?
  were you looking for a better way?
  to confront the life that you've betrayed
  but that was yesterday
  we were living, hearts were dreaming, there was meaning
  that was yesterday
  we were living, hearts were dreaming, there was meaning
  but that was yesterday
  that was yesterday
• çok güzel bir foreigner parçası, sözleri şöyledir;
  
  i thought i knew you well
  but all this time i could never tell
  i let you get away
  haunts me every night and every day
  
  you were the only one
  the only friend that i counted on
  how could i watch you walk away
  i d give anything to have you here today
  
  but now i stand alone with my pride
  and dream that youre still by my side
  
  but that was yesterday
  i had the world in my hands
  but its not the end of my world
  just a slight change of plans
  
  that was yesterday
  but today life goes on
  no more hiding in yesterday
  cause yesterdays gone
  
  love, my love i gave it all
  thought i saw the light
  when i heard you call
  life that we both could share
  has deserted me
  left me in despair
  
  but now i stand alone with my pride
  fighting back the tears i never let myself cry
  
  but that was yesterday
  love was torn from my hands
  but its not the end of my world
  just a little hard to understand
  
  that was yesterday
  but today life goes on
  you wont find me in yesterdays world
  now yesterdays gone
  
  goodbye yesterday
  now its over and done
  still i hope somewhere deep in your heart
  yesterday will live on
• geçmişinizi şöyle bir irdeletip, ardından melankoli hallere sokmayı başaran, enfes bir foreigner şarkısı.
• foreigner'ın lise sonda imç'deki plakçılardan aldığım agent provocateur albümündeki iki muhteşem (diğeri için bkz: ı wanna know what love is) parçadan biri. dünden beri hiç durmadan zihnimin içinde çalıyor, dinlemekten kulaklarım uyuştu. bir vokal bu kadar mı damardan olur, ey lou gramm? hele o "still ı hope somewhere deep in your heart" deyişi var ya...
  
  seksenlerin müzikleri iyiydi...
• foreigner'ın hem gaza getiren hem de insana dünlerini düşündüren müthiş şarkısı. güç veriyor resmen.
• (bkz: #66434940) 2017'nin başında da aynıydı; 2019 bitti, neredeyse 3 yıl oldu ama verdiği etki hâlâ aynı. zamansız bir şaheser.
• neredeyse her 3 senede bir buraya geliyormuşum baktım da. birçok şeyi aşmama yardımcı oldu bu şarkı. "just a slight change of plans", planlardaki ufak bir değişiklik sadece, başka da bir şey değil.
