Here Tomorrow, Gone Today

It came as quite a shock this morning
After all the plans we'd made to settle down
She said she needed more than I could offer
Said she wanted to see the world beyond this sleepy little town

And now her bags are packed, she's ready to go
In an hour or two she'll be on her way
She made it clear it wouldn't make any difference
If I'm still here tomorrow, she'll still be gone today

She seemed so full of determination
As she turned to me to say her last goodbye
I knew I'd lost control of the situation
'Cause I could see that faraway look in her eye

And now her bags are packed, she's ready to go
In an hour or two she'll be on her way
She made it clear it wouldn't make any difference
If I'm still here tomorrow, she'll still be gone today

I thought our love was built on solid ground
But I feel the Earth shaking and the walls are tumbling down

And now her bags are packed, she's ready to go
In an hour or two she'll be on her way
She made it clear it wouldn't make any difference
If I'm still here tomorrow, she'll still be gone today
