my this week's strange ballad is by the german Heavy Power Metal Band Grave Digger formed in 1980 by Chris Boltendahl. The song Yesterday is from their 1984 debut album "Heavy Metal Breakdown":
Yesterday
Lyrics:
Yesterday, when you left me on my own
Yesterday, when you left my heart alone
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no no
Yesterday, when your love was very true
Yesterday, when we knew what to do
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday, in my mind it's still alive
Yesterday, when we were husband and wife
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
