Someday (I'll Be Coming Home Tomorrow)

SOMEDAY, I’LL BE COMING HOME, TOMORROW

Night before and in my arms       She tells me prayers  Whispers charms

Others said, “You leave  It’s broken”    My love loves  With arms wide open.

She doesn’t want me  Here at home   Tethered with my  Dream to roam

She knows me for  A package deal    She caught the fish  Lets out the reel

Won’t trade this flight          For grounded sorrow

Someday soon, love,  I’ll be coming home tomorrow

Two whole weeks  Is three too many   I miss my bed  I miss my honey

Too much time  To be so gone   Hurts to leave  My love alone

She pays the bill   No way to borrow

Someday soon, love, I’ll be coming home tomorrow

Someday soon  Someday soon

Another sunset  Another tune

Someday soon  Someday soon

Now and then I wonder    Of a life domestic-led

Coffee together mornings   Nights together in bed

Even as I wonder  I feel my wandering eyes on

Lightening, hear the thunder    There at the horizon

Life goes on  While you’re away   Family, home,   The working day.

Then you come back    And though you’re home

Takes me time    Land in the room

You may be here   We still feel far, though

Someday soon love, I’ll be coming home tomorrow

Someday soon  Someday soon

Another sunset  Another tune

Someday soon  Someday soon

DUET-ER         WILLA

Someday soon    Someday soon                         Holding you     As I am leaving

Another state line   Another room                        Know my heart breaks    When you’re grieving

Someday soon    Someday soon                        Though we’re parted    I am holding you

Though we’re parted, I am holding you            Someday soon, love
