Spirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know. She wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh I believe in yesterday

I remember the days
I remember the place
'Cause I wish you were mine
Just a moment in time
Say my name in the night
And to you it feels right
'Cause into your arms I fall
You decided to leave
Just as long as I breathe
It's my very last try
And you tell me "goodbye"
I remember the place
I remember the days
The best time of my life
I call
The spirit of yesterday
Spirit of yesterday
I fall
Into your arms again
Into your arms one day
I call
The spirit of yesterday
Spirit of yesterday
I fall
Into your arms again
Into your arms one day
I'm recalling the days
I recall the right place
'Cause I wish you were here
To be my athmosphere
Paint my name in the sky
Angel wings to get high
'Cause into your arms I fall
You are just need to ease
And for now I say please
It's my massage to you
It's the last rendez-vous
I remember the place
I remember the days
The best time of my life
I call
The spirit of yesterday
Spirit of yesterday
I fall
Into your arms again
Into your arms one day
I call
The spirit of yesterday
Spirit of yesterday
I fall
Into your arms again
Into your arms one day
Spirit of yesterday, yesterday
I fall
Into your arms one day, one day!
Spirit of yesterday,
Spirit am I fall away?
I wanna call the spirit of yesterday
Into your arms one day
Into your arms just stay
I wanna fall into your arms one day. Fall into your arms one day
One day
Uhmmm, one day.
