Here Today - Gone Tomorrow

(album: Perfect Timing - 1987)

Such a strange obsession coming over me
Seems that I can't face that stark reality
Need to find the answer
Need to find a way
I don't know what I'm doing here from day to day

As far as I can see now
The reason's very clear
Is there nothing left for me... oh...

Here today, gone tomorrow I hear you say
No more joy, only sorrow... no other way
Here today, gone tomorrow I hear you say
One last time before you walk away

Bent on self destruction
I can feel the pain
This advice you've given me
Is all in vain

As far as I can see now
The reason's very clear
Is there nothing left for me... oh...

Here today, gone tomorrow I hear you say
No more joy, only sorrow... no other way
Here today, gone tomorrow I hear you say
One last time before you walk away

Did I hear you whisper...?

Almost reached that point now
The point of ne return
Getting closer to that edge... ooh, I'll never learn!

As far as I can see now
The reason's very clear
Is there nothing left for me... oh...

Here today, gone tomorrow I hear you say
No more joy, only sorrow... no other way
Here today, gone tomorrow I hear you say
One last time before you walk away
