I'm feeling awfully restless, I've got wings upon my feet
The roads that we both travel never meet
Every signpost that I come to points the other way
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today

The sun is warm upon my face, the wind is at my back
I'm searching for the something that I lack
Now and then I'll send a postcard, sayin' I'm okay
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today

Give me time to weed the orchards of my life
I want to see the world with eyes that really see
When I've finished with my wanderin' ways, darling, I'll be back
Giving you the me that's really me

Throw a pebble in the water: ripples always reach the shore
Some day you'll hear my footsteps at your door
The shadow of your memory will never fade away
I'll promise you tomorrow, but don't ask me for today
