Tomorrow

Twas down in Toledo where I first met Annie Like Boticelli's Venus, a blind man could see Her kiss, it was cosmic and stranger than any And I let her cast her circus spell over me And what does it matter if you're hauled away? You're leaving tomorrow but you're here today And what does it matter just when is the end? You're leaving tomorrow, you'll be back again I took her to lie in the Garden of Eden We laid there in silence underneath the sweet moon It took me so long before I saw she was bleedin' And you're always too late if you can't be too soon And what does it matter the words that you say? You're leaving tomorrow but you're here today And what does it matter the letters you send? You're leaving tomorrow, you'll be back again I brought her great flowers and baskets of pearls She bought me more whiskey than one man can count Though me full of bourbon and lillies all in her curls Nothing could repair it, no matter the amount And what does it matter the price that you pay? You're leaving tomorrow but you're here today And what does it matter how much you can spend? You're leaving tomorrow, you'll be back again "What good is a place if there's nothing worth staying?" She said, as her fingers, they ran up my sleeve Twas then that I knew just what she was saying And so from the doorway I watched Annie leave And what does it matter, you don't have to stay You're leaving tomorrow but you're here today And what does it matter wherever you've been You're leaving tomorrow, you'll be back again
