Tomorrow and Tomorrow (demo)

Here is another demo of a song I plan to include in the upcoming w.p. bluhm project New Dog, Old Tricks. This is the one I wrote about last week that was “More than 3 years in the making.” The video didn’t turn out — I cut off the top half of my face — so here’s just the soundtrack.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Well, I was born in the fifties, and I grew up in the sixties,
Paid some dues in the seventies, but never enough to count.
I stayed adolescent to my fifties, I kept marking time in my sixties,
I hope to live through my seventies to see how it all it turns out.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, if I have a tomorrow,
Gonna pack my bags tomorrow and see the world.

I loved too many girls in the eighties, found the love of my life in the nineties,
Just in time for a brave new century, and then I took off my mask.
I hope I get to see my eighties, and maybe even my nineties,
But somehow I think a century’s a little too much to ask.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, if I have a tomorrow,
Gonna pack my bags tomorrow and see the world.

Tomorrow and tomorrow, let me run, let the words flow,
Tomorrow and tomorrow, I sing the song my heart’s held fast.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, let me let the fears all go,
Tomorrow help me let it all out at last.

Here we are now in the twenties, counting down to the thirties.
By the time we get to the forties, shouldn’t have much left to do.
All these numbers comprise a journey from birth to our final adieu,
And as for the destination, gonna leave that up to you.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, if I have a tomorrow,
Gonna pack my bags tomorrow and see the world.
