Today calls out to me like a lover in my bed She speaks so softly and I heed her every word The fear comes over me when I think of the end Tomorrow seems so short when yesterday has yet to begin But I can't win Or so it seems She only calls to me in dreams And the future Just seems so far away Dreary eyes look at the clock so unforgivingly There must be more to me than just slippin', wasting away No need to run around at the speed of a train A thousand miles per hour is faster than you think And so, I sink Into this chair I hear her whisper in my ear That the future Is nothing like today
