That Was Yesterday - Magna Carta

Diadems and gems that glitter

Painted faces turning

Lady played the harpsichord

Where now the brambles grow

Hopes and schemes

Like old men’s dreams

Some have gone astray

The world could never change you said

But that was yesterday

The world could never change you said

But that was yesterday

Peacocks, mannequin paraded

On your velvet lawn

Servants at your beck and call

To bring you wine and roses

The songs your lovers made for you

Were soon to fade away

The world could never change you said

But that was yesterday

The world could never change you said

But that was yesterday

Fortunes come and go like winter

You woke one morning so unknowing

And all the money gone

You said goodbye to finery

And the friends who used to say

We’re with you 'til the end of time

But that was yesterday

We’re with you 'til the end of time

But that was yesterday
