Tomorrow Night in Baltimore
Yearning Shadows: A Tale of Unrequited Love in Baltimore
Lyrics
Her head rolls back and forth
Her head moves back and forth.
Against the billows of her long black shiny hair
Her long, black, shiny hair billows around her.
As she contemplates the ecstasy
She reflects on the intense pleasure or rapture.
Of another love she wishes was there.
She desires another love that she wishes existed.
If she could only realize
If she could only understand that my love is at her command.
That the love I have could beckon her command
Instead of laughing and rejecting advances.
Instead of laughing endlessly
She laughs endlessly and pushes back advances with her hands.
And pushin' back advances with her hands.
Every night I see her leave
A man is left as a granite statue, with lingering pain.
A nightmare of illusions when she's gone
And it leaves a granite statue
The flashy goodbye can't replace the sweet, girlish hello.
In a man with a pain that lingers on.
Tonight, the speaker decides never to let her go.
The gaudy goodbye can't replace
Many nights, he watches her tease by shifting her weight.
The girlish giggle of her sweet hello
She brushes back falling strands covering her lips.
But tonight I've made my crumbled mind up
That I'll never, ever let her go.
She struts on stage, leaving fallen victims calling for more.
Many nights I've watched her tease
By shifting all her weight from hip to hip
Tonight, the speaker plans to take her, infiltrating past a guarded door.
And with her hands brush back the falling strands
She hurries by, carrying scanty costumes she wore.
That cover up her satin lips.
She struts upon the stage and her fallen victims
She instructs to load the baggage because they open tomorrow night in Baltimore.
Are calling out for more
But she leaves 'em stranded helplessly
If necessary, the speaker is determined to be there tomorrow night in Baltimore.
And exits to her dressing room door.
Tonight I'm gonna take her
-I've infiltrated past the guarded door
-But she just hurries by me
-Carrying all those scanty costumes that she wore.
-And asks a sawed off cigar smoking cat
-If he would open up the door
-Then she told them to load the baggage
-'Cause they open tomorrow night in Baltimore.
-God if I have to crawl
-I'm gonna be there tomorrow night in Baltimore.
