Come Tomorrow
Echoes of Seasons Changing: A Tale of Love and Loss in 'Come Tomorrow'
Lyrics
Could it be the season's changin'
Reflecting on the possibility that the seasons are changing.
The winds of winter rearranging
Describing the impact of winter winds rearranging things.
All the leaves like fallin' queens of sorrow
Symbolizing falling leaves as queens of sorrow, suggesting a melancholic atmosphere.
Could be the freezing rain a-fallin'
Suggesting a somber mood with the imagery of freezing rain falling.
Could be sad September callin'
Hinting at a melancholic feeling associated with September.
Or maybe its knowin' she'll be gone
Possibly referring to the realization that a loved one will be leaving.
Come tomorrow
Expressing a sense of inevitability or anticipation for what comes next.
Well, it's strange how many tortured mornings
Reflecting on unexpected difficult mornings.
Fell upon us with no warning
Describing the sudden onset of challenging situations without warning.
Lookin' for a smile to beg and borrow
Searching for comfort or happiness but unable to find it.
It's over now, there is no returning
Acknowledging the finality of a situation, with no possibility of going back.
A thousand bridges sadly burning
Describing numerous broken relationships symbolized by burning bridges.
And light the way I have to walk alone
Feeling the need to navigate life's path alone after the bridges are burned.
Come tomorrow
Reiterating the sense of anticipation for what comes next.
I guess that no amount of lying
Acknowledging the futility of self-deception to avoid emotional pain.
To myself will stop the crying
Accepting the inevitability of tears despite attempts to lie to oneself.
I guess I have to take things like they are
Recognizing the need to accept reality as it is.
The facts are plain to see, it's only
Stating that the truth is evident, emphasizing the difficulty of adjusting to loneliness.
That I ain't used to being lonely
Expressing discomfort with the unfamiliar feeling of loneliness.
Like I'm gonna be without you
Anticipating a future without a significant other.
Come tomorrow
Reiterating the sense of anticipation for what comes next.
Come tomorrow
Concluding with the repeated anticipation of what will happen in the future.
