Tomorrow Lies beside us

Tomorrow lies beside us

I turned to you this morning but you had gone away
Your body lay beside me but your soul no longer lay
That smile I love upon your face, the smile that says, "I love
you"
You dream your dreams of someone, but I am not a part of who
Who holds your dreams so gently?
Who holds your heart so tight?
Who keeps you warm while I feel cold
In the empty, lonely night
So many dreams behind us, nights we could not part
I was your concerto and you were my fine art
I long to touch you softly, I think you might respond
But the girl that you'd be loving is somewhere far beyond
Who walks with you in dream land?
Who's fingers yours entwine
Who makes your heart harmonise with hers?
For I know it isn't mine
You murmur something softly, some whispered secret shared
Perhaps a name I didn't catch. Perhaps you said you cared
I raise my hand to stroke you, then let if fall away
I turn my back like every night since she has come to stay
Who soars you on the ocean
Who sails you through the sky
Who ticks your tock and rocks your clock
And why the hell not I
She lies in bed between us
An almost solid form
Your arm reaches out on the pillow
and crooks to keep her warm
When did I turn to nothing
And why could you not wait
I know that I am yesterday
And tomorrow is your date.
Tomorrow is your lover
Tomorrow makes you breathe
Tomorrow is to be my past
For tomorrow you will leave.
