Seems Like Yesterday (Mockingbird)

from The Forgotten World by Winchester 7 & the Runners

about

Winchester 7: During recent rehearsals, we kept coming back to playing the chords that make up the coda to Cherry Cheesecake. Soon, a song structure began to form that, to us, felt both melodic and a touch eerie.

With this and Halloween near upon us, I wrote accompanying lyrics about a mockingbird who recently treated us to nightly song sessions. The beauty of its calls were, unfortunately, lost on us in the near dawn hours that lead to tired days.

Finally, for the video and in recognition of the holiday, we decided to use our production budget for a bit of fun. Addams-style.

We hope that you enjoy it!

lyrics

I've been stuck in the middle
in the middle, baby, with you
And it seems like yesterday
when we finally knew the truth

And all those games we played
where the revolver was our Clue
I remember how you used to say
you gotta give the devil his due

When the Mockingbird sings to me
it's song is always the same
Mockingbird please let me be
and don't come back again

When the Mockingbird has come
there's no rest for anyone
Oh, the Mockingbird's song
sings forever on

I've been stuck in the middle
in the middle, baby, with you
And I remember you used to say
Well, it seems like yesterday
