There Won't Be Another Now

(album: Kern River - 1985)

The porch swing is squeaking
And the night is like it should be
The stars in the sky
Putting on a show for you and me
I've got a lot of words to say
If only I knew how
There may be another morning
But there won't be another now

We were kids together and I've loved you
All the years I've known you
With hungry eyes I've watched you
As your young body has outgrown you
Something deep inside of me
Makes me want to kiss you on the mouth
There may be another morning
But there won't be another now

I love you, I want you
Can't you feel it?
And you can't give your love to me
I just may have to go on and steal it

Your eyes hold a secret
And I like the look you're using
That certain look of innocence
Is fighting lust and losing
Slowly the oak tree disappears
And the willow starts to bow
There may be another morning
But there won't be another now
