I watched the planes come in
On the early morning flights
But I could not stand to see them
Land without you
Now I'm thumbing through my fortyfives
On another endless night
And the same old lines
Going back in time
Tell me this is nothing new
Well, I feel like Buddy Holly
'cause it's raining in my heart
All the sad songs take me back to you now
That we are apart
Now I know how Paul McCartney felt
When he got up to say:
I wish it was yesterday
So I sit here playing Solitaire
It's a game I know so well
Ever since that day
When you called to say: It's over
Now I've made my reservation
At the Heartbreak Hotel
While I'm living without you
I'm thinking about you
Like only the lonely do
Well, I feel like Buddy Holly
'cause it's raining in my heart
Now I know what Paul Simon meant
By the words he found:
I wish I was homeward bound
Well, I feel like Buddy Holly
'cause it's raining in my heart
Now I know how Paul McCartney
Felt when he got up to say:
I wish it was yesterday
I wish it was yesterday
