A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field
  Once surrounded by the walls of work
  By laughter and by love
  The sound of children playing
  And the sound of people saying
  I love you--yeah you
    A crooked tree stands naked near the
  center of the field
  Barely rooted in the browns and greys
  Of earth that once was green
  A place long since forgotten
  In a world of yesterday
  Except by me--yeah me
    And Oh--whose plan was this anyway
  And I never thought He would want it to be that way
    It once was beautiful--Right Here
  It still is beautiful--In Here
  You once were beautiful--I hear
  I hear it can be beautiful
  Just remember
    A twisted little image in your perfect little world
  Of the chapter where itd all begun
  About a song already sung
  Burnt around the edges
  Nearly faded--nearly gone
  Even you--yeah you
    A shiny building standing in the center of today
  Where indifferent people go to work
  Go about their pay
  Knowing they've forgotten
  In a most convenient way
  Yesterday--away
