She stopped to buy a flower in the rain

Just outside her door

Then gave it to a woman on the train

She thought could use it more

Where you are, is where you ought to be

The road ahead is not the road you see

Yesterday has come and gone

And the road ahead is not the road you’re on

 

He picked up a paper at the stand

And held it high above his head

But with the water dripping from his head,

Ducked into a store instead

Where you are, is where you ought to be

The road ahead is not the road you see

Yesterday has come and gone

And the road ahead is not the road you’re on

 

Leave the things you’ve lost behind

Welcome to the world new things you find

That are waiting to be loved in kind

 

He flew with his coffee like a kite

Head down back to the street

He didn’t see her waiting for the light

Her things fell at his feet

Where you are, is where you ought to be

The road ahead is not the road you see

Yesterday has come and gone

And the road ahead is not the road you’re on
