A Thousand Times Yes Lyrics - Singles - Yoko Ono

I said yes, I said yes, I said yes 

I prayed a thousand times yes 

And the no that was hanging over the buildings 

Faded like the moon at dawn 

When I was young I thought I was facing 

A very aware world ahead 

I didn't know it was going to be 

Beware of dogs instead 

I said no, I said no, I said no 

I said no a million times to no 

But the yes that was in it's last breath 

Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu 

When I was young I didn't know 

That one can only read life in braille 

I was still struggling 

To catch life on it's tail 

I said why, I said why, I said why 

I asked why for the billionth time 

And my bone slowly lost it's moist 

Like a leftover coke bottle on the street 

Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing 

On the square, thats my bone 

It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud 

Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard 

I said yes, I said yes, I said yes 

I prayed a thousand times yes 

And the no that was hanging over 

Faded
