Yesterday Took My Breath Away – Written March 1993 (Aged 18)

Yesterday Took My Breath Away

who i am to lie?
when it comes to,
the sun, the moon, the clouds
and the sky
the first time i felt this way
was sometime ago
now i know,
why the night turns to day
falling from the sky
with no one to catch me
i felt like it was over
and that i was going to die
yesterday took my breath away
and now,
it’s today
and i am burnt and i am bruised
things seem to be getting weird
as people run around
with nothing to do and nothing to say
not a single sound
yesterday took my breath away




James Garratt – March 1993
