Alan Parsons Project - NO FUTURE IN THE PAST lyrics

Written by Stuart Elliott

Yesterdays come easy

They're looking back at you

The Sun will rise tomorrow

There's nothing you can do

It's the same old story

Coming round again

What is done is done now

You know you can't hold back the rain

And there's no future in the past

So take it slow – you're getting nowhere fast

You could be saving the situation now

You'd better run like the devil if you still know how

You know the tide is turning

It's got you on the run

Your last bridge is burning

No time for having fun

Time will wait for no one

To get their day's work done

We're in this boat together

You know one and one and one ain't one

Chorus

We've come a long long way

Maybe one day you'll see the light

But don't let it die

Don't let it fade away into the night

Yesterdays come easy

They're looking back at you

The Sun will rise tomorrow

There's nothing you can do

It's the same old story

Coming round again

What is done is done now

You know you can't hold back the rain

Chorus
