Tommorrow and Me

I've forgotten how long I've been sitting here Watching my reflection in a disappearing beer The loneliness is so thick you can slice it The emptiness is too much for me to fight it And while tomorrow must be met, it seems That life's become a jewel that dimly gleams From its perch atop a ring that's slightly out of round Casting the reflection of a crying clown Oh, the closeness is gone Still, the memory lives on The distance now is growing as the highway sings Changing the complexion and the scheme of things And as the world begins to turn I feel the time has come To accept apparent loss as a battle won And with that in mind I close my eyes and kiss your cheek Push the loneliness aside and stand on shaky feet Then re-implant that never really leaves Gently place my heart back on my sleeve Oh, the closeness is gone Still, the memory lives on The distance now is growing as the highway sings Changing the complexion and the scheme of things And as the world begins to turn I feel the time has come To accept apparent loss as a battle won And with that in mind I close my eyes and kiss your cheek Push the loneliness aside and stand on shaky feet Then re-implant the smile that never really leaves Gently place my heart back on my sleeve Oh, the closeness is gone Still, the memory lives on
