One day or maybe tonight

ONE DAY OR MAYBE TONIGHT (D A D G B E, capo 5)

The morning, the afternoon. The sunset, the crescent moon. The feeling something has changed.

I know now it’s not the same. And some things don’t have a name. I know now we can’t be saved.

 

The heat wave, the cold snap. The tunnels and the roads back. There is nothing to see here.

I’m trying to keep a straight face. I’m trying to be at home in a new place. I know now we’ll be ok.

We’ll be ok.

 

Some things can’t be put into words. There is nothing I have not heard. There is nowhere I cannot be.

The moment you close your eyes. It passes in the silence of night. It passes but never dies.

One day I will get it right.

One day or maybe tonight.
