And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on
And I don't know why I have to make a song
Everybody talks a bout a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long
I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty
I met that man when he was eighty-one
He said too many folks just stand and wait up till the morning
Don't they know tomorrow never comes
And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on
And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in fun
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning never comes

We once had love but it's gone now don't know when don't know how
We're two strangers under one roof no need to lie that's the truth
Love has gone there's nothing left I wanna leave can't help myself
Don't want to live have never try in some old house where love has died
Too many ghosts walk the floor ghosts of the love that ain't no more
I'd like to have what we once had ain't no way that's too bad
Cause you're too much a part of me for me to be ever free
So we'll keep living and neither tryin' in some old house where love has died

Now I have loved you like a baby like some lonesome child
I have loved you in a tame way and I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me has to turn from here and go
Running like a child beneath warm stars down the seven bridges road [ strings ]
Now there are stars in the southern sky and if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey down the seven bridges road
**********
Neath the chimneys and the rooftops of a village safe and sound
No one sees the face nor hears the feet that walk the morning ground
And the stillness of the alleys and the highways keep a growing
So you know you are your own and that alone will keep ya going
Through the dampness of the dawn now by the road you walk alone
And you think on days when you had laughed or of a lovve you'd known
But your head is low avoiding thoughts of times you'll soon be knowing
When to say you are your own ain't quite enough to keep ya going

Well I ain't never had much ambition but I always made my own way
By turnin' a couple of jobs in some ladies' backyard I averaged about a dollar a day
I wake up early each morning and before I started on my way
I get some cigarettes and a couple of cups of coffee a sweepin' the local city cafe
Standing on the road...
Ain't never had no one to love me never had girl to call my own
I never would take a chance to fool with romance I guess I'm used to being alone
Nobody wants a drifter so I'll keep moving on
There's nothin' to tie me down when I wanna leave town
Nobody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
