Come Tomorrow

(album: Delta Momma Blues - 1971)

Could it be the season's changing
The winds of winter rearranging
All the leaves like falling queens of sorrow
Could be the freezing rain a-falling
Could be sad September calling
Or maybe it's knowing she'll be gone
Come tomorrow

Well, it's strange how many tortured mornings
Fell upon us with no warning
Looking for a smile to beg and borrow
It's over now, there is no returning

A thousand bridges sadly burning
And light the way I have to walk alone
Come tomorrow

I guess that no amount of lying
To myself will stop the crying
I guess I have to take things like they are
The facts are plain to see, it's only
That I ain't used to being lonely
Like I'm gonna be without you
Come tomorrow

Come tomorrow
