I drew a blank on a torn door
Drew another, then no more
Got stung, pedaled frowns
Knew things was bust
(No way outta town)
Sometimes it done it its way
Then again, harder to say ––
What’s looking up
Decides to knock you down
Before the promise of tomorrow
Tomorrow came
Morning on this pole
Midnight at the other
Slipping, slapping, sliding
On a cockamamie roll
Yesterday’s dreams dissolve
Into today’s goodbyes
I set out on a camel’s hump
Came back with just the eyes
Before the promise of tomorrow
Tomorrow came
A farther distance that we go
Within each moment spent
Then ever’s sent by Heaven
Or scaled by human ken
Before the promise of tomorrow
Tomorrow came
We twist, we turn
Undo ourselves in tripled throws
My goodness, how the time has passed! ––
Let’s get our stuff and beat a path
To what we never knew
Nor will, nor who, nor say
Before the promise of tomorrow
Tomorrow came
