    I hate that this reminds me of this particular girl, however, the song always gets me. I think of good times with her. Then I think of the bad and I change the song.

    SAVES THE DAY LYRICS "Tomorrow Too Late"

    Light beams through
    windows stream into my eyes
    my eyes explode like red ballons
    as it reminds me of you so long ago

    wind blows through
    a hole in the roof
    brings your perfume like lillies to me
    and all I can do is remember you

    When was the last time
    I held you all through the nigh
    feels like a zillion years
    and I don't wanna wait more
    to find you is to lose you,
    what is that for?
    tell me

    When was the last time
    I held you all through the night
    Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife
    feels like a zillion years
    and I don't want to wait more
    to find you is to lose you,
    what is that for?
    one more night and I might never know who you are
    tell me [x2]

    When was the last time
    I held you all through the night
    Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife
    When was the last time
    I held you all through the night
    Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife
    tomorrow is much too late

    I need you now be my light
    tomorrow is much to late
    I need you now

    The Stranger by Leonard Cohen

    It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
    who said they were through with dealing
    Every time you gave them shelter
    I know that kind of man
    It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
    who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
    who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.

    And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
    you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter
    Like any dealer he was watching for the card
    that is so high and wild
    he'll never need to deal another
    He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
    He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.

    And then leaning on your window sill
    he'll say one day you caused his will
    to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
    And then taking from his wallet
    an old schedule of trains, he'll say
    I told you when I came I was a stranger
    I told you when I came I was a stranger.

    But now another stranger seems
    to want you to ignore his dreams
    as though they were the burden of some other
    O you've seen that man before
    his golden arm dispatching cards
    but now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger
    And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
    Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.

    Ah you hate to see another tired man
    lay down his hand
    like he was giving up the holy game of poker
    And while he talks his dreams to sleep
    you notice there's a highway
    that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
    It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.

    You tell him to come in sit down
    but something makes you turn around
    The door is open you can't close your shelter
    You try the handle of the road
    It opens do not be afraid
    It's you my love, you who are the stranger
    It's you my love, you who are the stranger.

    Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
    we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
    I think it's time to board another
    Please understand, I never had a secret chart
    to get me to the heart of this
    or any other matter
    When he talks like this
    you don't know what he's after
    When he speaks like this,
    you don't know what he's after.

    Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
    upon the shore, beneath the bridge
    that they are building on some endless river
    Then he leaves the platform
    for the sleeping car that's warm
    You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
    And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
    And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.

    And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind ...

    And leaning on your window sill ...

    I told you when I came I was a stranger.

    The secret marriage .....sting

    no earthly church has ever bless our Union

    no state has ever granted us permission

    no family bond has ever made us two

    no company has ever earned commission

    no debt was paid no dowry to be gained

    no treaty over border land or power

    no semblance of the world outside remained

    to stain the beauty of this nuptule hour

    the secret marriage vow

    is never spoken

    the secret marriage

    never can be broken

    no flowers on the altar

    no white veil in her hair

    no maiden dress to altar

    no Bible oath to swear

    the secret marriage vow

    is never spoken

    the secret marriage

    never can be broken
