Today and Tomorrow

And today is nice with a breeze and an open sky
And the yellow old dog hangs out in the shade all day
And I’m fine by myself, but I don’t like to see you go
And I hope you are well cause I love you so

You’re moving to a place, I don’t know what to make of it
And you say we are cool, and you ask me to drink to it
And you’re quietly aloof when you talk of autonomy
And you’re half-way out when you smile at me

I know there are things you will want to do
But still I dare say I’ll be caring for you
You know there are places I may want to see
But still I do hope you’ll be caring for me

And you tour out of state, and you work as a journeyman
And your summer is wild, but you don’t need a master plan
And the river runs cold and fast, and we see it swell
And where we’re headed, who can tell?

I know there are things you will want to do
But still I dare say I’ll be caring for you
You know there are places I may want to see
But still I do hope you’ll be caring for me

So I’m having some wine and a smoke in the evening
And the stars in the sky have a way of appeasing me
And the big bear dances alone and he shakes his paw
And the night is alert and long and raw

The clock strikes twelve, the clock strikes two
Dawn starts to lift from a deep midnight blue
Today and tomorrow slide in and fuse
The night is howling, and I’m thinking of you

And today is nice with a breeze and an open sky
And the yellow old dog hangs out in the shade all day
And I’m fine by myself, but I don’t like to see you go
And I hope you are well cause I love you so

The clock strikes twelve, the clock strikes two
Dawn starts to lift from a deep midnight blue
Today and tomorrow slide in and fuse
The night is howling, and I’m thinking of you
