John Kongos Tomorrow I'll Go
We began with hands and eyes
And our lips were careless and free
And you'd never think before a kiss
And I'd never fear childish laughter
And we'd never think about thereafter
And I said "yes, tomorrow I'll go"
And we agreed
Then we talked of life and love
And reasons and destinies
And we asked each other always why
And like children, we puzzled the answers
And as children, we were always sure
And I said "yes, but tomorrow I'll go"
And we agreed
We talked of truth and the past
I believed every word
And you made me eat onions and prawns
And soon your thoughts were like mine
And my thoughts were just like yours
And still I said "yes, tomorrow I'll go
I'll go"
And we bought an old sheep dog
And it seemed like we lived around him
And he wasn't yours and he wasn't mine
So he must have been ours
You said, "how can you ever leave?"
And still I said "yes, tomorrow I'll go
I'll go"
And one day you said, "how about a baby?"
And I said, "okay
But I may want to go tomorrow"
You said, "of course" and then I knew
You said, "of course" and then I knew
That I would never go tomorrow
I'd never go, never leave
Today or tomorrow, I'd never leave
Never go, never go
