This song was written in real time
by the window at my bedside, during
some rough financial times.

COME TOMORROW
Winter 1997, Durham NC

Listening at the window
Glistening with the wind snow and rain
The pain is gone, my eyes are dry
Same old song, don't know why it's so often this way
    And it causes me to pray

Lying here without sleeping
Tryin' to find what's been keeping me so
Open-eyed, watching moonbeams
Cross the sky 'til the room seems to shine like the day
    And it motivates me to say:

        Come tomorrow, let there be
        All the hope and all the love we need
        Until then, Lord, close my eyes
        Rest my soul and give me peace inside

    Help me see you're always there for me
    Help me be the man I know that I can be

        Come tomorrow, let there be
        All the hope and all the love we need
        Until then, Lord, close my eyes
        Rest my soul and give me peace inside
