Seems Like Only Yesterday Lyrics - Seems Like Only Yesterday: Live In Montreal 1976 - Jesse Winchester

Edwards 

I'll never forget that dreadful day 

When I decided to run away 

Little sister was playin' with a kitten on the floor 

Mama was rockin out on the front porch 

And Daddy had gone to the grocery store 

And Brother had left the day before 

Packed my clothes when no one was lookin' 

Went out the back door and into the bushes 

And down the holler and over the creek 

Then up the field and across the field 

I jumped the fence and I thumbed a ride 

Much too young to realize 

That I'd regret all it by and by.

And I wish I had the love that was offered to me 

When I was just too young and blind to see 

There was a whole lot of love in that old house 

But I had to leave to find it out 

And it seems like it was only yesterday. 

And I wish I had the love that was offered to me 

When I was just too young and blind to see 

There was a whole lot of love in that old house 

But I had to leave to find it out 

And it seems like it was only yesterday. 

If I'd a-known then what I know now 

I'd a-stayed right on my daddy's old farm 

Just a young upstart I thought I was smart 

Tried to be a man when I was only a child 

But many a time it comes to my mind 

To pack my clothes and leave this town 

And jump that fence and cross that field 

And down the hill and over the creek 

An up the holler and through them bushes 

And in the back door when no one is lookin' 

And accept the love that was offered to me. 

And I wish I had the love that was offered to me 

When I was just too young and blind to see 

There was a whole lot of love in that old house 

But I had to leave to find it out 

And it seems like it was only yesterday 

And I wish I had the love I threw away.
