Lyrics


NO MORE LOOKING FORWARD

© Chapman

Here it is Friday morning
been waiting for your call
time to plan our weekend but
the phone don't ring at all
Subway gets me home from work
looking for you everywhere
needing so to hold you
finding just your scent in the air

Darling, there's no more looking forward
tomorrows have stopped today.
Tomorrow is a step to nowhere,
down and out, in a world of gray.
Oh darling, you were all my tomorrows,
unfinished songs, unwhispered words
There's no more dreaming with my darling
and there's no more looking forward.

Here it is Sunday evening
been hurting all this day
lonesome as a mourning dove
calling for its mate
Can't get to sleep without you
TV turns me off
punch the pillows, kick the sheets
try to find a place that's soft

Please find a way to reach me
as I stumble through each hour
You know I need to feel your love
shelter and surround me

Darling, there's no more looking forward
tomorrows have stopped today.
Tomorrow is a step to nowhere,
down and out, in a world of gray.
Oh darling, you were all my tomorrows,
unfinished songs, unwhispered words
There's no more dreaming with my darling
and there's no more looking forward.

like the fresh approach to this song. reminds of joanie mitchell or 70's music where the angle was to focus on the singer.
