Tomorrow Never Came

(album: Down Two Then Left - 1977)

Lazy days
Cafe afternoons
Evening plays
Chasing the silver moon
Perfume and a promise
It will happen soon
Wait and see
The clock will strike the hour
And you will come to me
It will happen soon
Happen soon

Endless nights
Dreaming of the day
The boat along the side
Sails to carry us away
Islands on the river
It could happen soon
I heard them say
It could happen soon
But just like yesterday
The ships have come and gone
And we were not along

Oh
Tomorrow never came
I've been here dark till dawn
And still end up the same
I've seen them all
Seen them through
Can I ever see the end of you

Anyway
Darling what's the use
Oh some things never change
The perfume and the promise
Merely rearranged
To look like new
The clock upon the tower
Still chiming like the fool
It could happen soon
Could happen soon

Oh
Tomorrow never came
I've been here dark till dawn
And still end up the same
I've seen them all
Seen them through
Can I ever see the end of you

Tomorrow never came
I've been here dark till dawn
And still end up the same
I've seen them all
Seen them through
Can I ever see the end of you
