Tomorrow's Calling
Marianne Faithfull · Collection [2005]
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue
Silver patterns of porcelain rose
Cobwebs of filley green
Where I get them from nobody knows
No one but you can see
All the treasures of time will be there
Take them away, they're free
The finest thing is a love that we'll share
If you will follow me
If I were foolish I'd promise the sky
But I must not let my hopes run too high
And I wonder when all's said and done
What will the future be?
All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me, if you will follow me
If you will follow me
And I wonder when all's said and done
What will the future be?
All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me, if you will follow me
If you will follow me
Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue
