The Kinks Follow

Walking along a crowded street
I see thousands of faces before me
Then I see a face that I used to know
Long ago in my life story

It starts me thinking about the things you said
For your image is still inside me
The past is gone but in my head
You're still walking along beside me

Is it something playing tricks with my eyes
Or just an illusion deceiving me
Or is it someone in a disguise
Or visions of things that used to be?

But lately, I've been going to
All the places that we once knew
And just when I think that I am free of you
I keep seeing the things that remind me of you

And just when I think you're out of my head
I hear a song which you sang or see a book that you read
Then you're in every bar, you're in every cafe
You're driving every car, I see you everyday
But you're not really there 'cos you belong to yesterday

No more looking back
No more living in the past
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact

Yeah, look straight ahead
That's the only way it's gonna be
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back

Perhaps, someday I'll stop needing you
Then maybe, one day I'll be free of you
But lately, I've been going to
All the places that remind me of you

And just when I think you're out of my head
I hear a record you played or see a book that you read
Then you're in every bar, you're in every cafe
You're driving every car, I see you everyday
But you're not really there 'cos you belong to yesterday

No more looking back
No more living in the past
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back

No more looking back
No more living in the past
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back

Walking along a crowded street
I see thousands of faces before me
Then I see a face that I used to know
