FAWM SONG #2

When Tomorrow Comes

I wrote this song from a sailor's point of view. To satisfy his soul he must leave and sail the high seas, but he does not want to hurt the woman that he has been with while in port. He tries to comfort her on their last night together and tells her that even though he is leaving he will remember her. It's sort of a bitter sweet love song.

I traded out my usual guitar solo section for a little sax in this song. It just felt right. I think it gives the song a bit of a Bob Seeger/Chicago feel.

Lyrics:

When tomorrow comes
With tomorrow’s sun
I will you remember you
When tomorrow comes?
For I’ll be gone when tomorrow comes.

Sailing on a ship has been my life
I’ve never been the kind to take a wife
Riding wave on wave to distant shores
Never satisfied always wanting more
I am the captain of this fair ship
I’ve just been resting in this slip

You’ve been good to me better than most
But my heart it longs for shores on a distant coast
I must ride the waves where they may go
And follow the stars to where they show
Darling please don’t cry. we’ve had our fun
Now I must leave when tomorrow comes

When tomorrow comes
With tomorrow’s sun
I will you remember you
When tomorrow comes?
For I’ll be gone when tomorrow comes.

Now lay your head on me just one last time
My darling close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Dream sweet dreams my dear all through the night
Snuggle close to me and I’ll hold you tight
I’ll try not to wake you when morning comes.
But I’ll be gone woth the morning sun

When tomorrow comes
With tomorrow’s sun
I will you remember you
When tomorrow comes?
For I'll be gone when tomorrow comes.

When tomorrow comes
When tomorrow comes
