Tomorrow Is a Word We’ll Never Know

As the sunset says good-bye to the heartbeat next to mine 

You and I until the weary morning comes.

Curtain’s up and I'll be gone with the blurry break of dawn

Just as surely as the robin’s song is sung. 

Your reflection’s in the cracks, but there ain't no looking back

And forever’s just a moment that we shared.

Though I never meant no harm, here I stand with empty arms 

While a stranger’s fingers mingle through your hair.

And it seems your silhouette's been slowly fading 

As seedlings of the springtime cease to grow. 

But stay with me tonight, we’ll pretend that it’s all right 

'Cause tomorrow is a word we’ll never know.

With a pocketful of holes and a gypsy in my soul,

I was running where the wind was flowing free.

And your pennies in a jar they were gonna’ take you far 

But you kept them 'cause you couldn’t count on me.

And I remember you so soft and silent 

Spinning in the moonlight's lazy glow. 

Where the past was dying down as the present takes a bow

And tomorrow is a word we’ll never know.

Now the years have drifted by like the clouds of rolling skies 

And your laughter's just an echo in my mind.

All the shiny roads are paved with the price I’ve had to pay 

And the shadow of the one I left behind.



‘Cause I passed your eyes a-crying on the highway 

To wander where that lonesome whistle blows.

But if I had my say we’d meet again some day 

Where tomorrow ain’t a word we’ll never know.
