When Tomorrow Comes
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
Shades of sleep have driven you away.
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here.
Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives.
Another day - another night
Has taken you again my dear.
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
Last night while you were
Lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world.
Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before.
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe.
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
When Tomorrow Comes
Released on the 2005 compilation Boxed, 'When Tomorrow Comes' by Eurythmics stands as a poignant reflection on the band's enduring ability to blend electronic textures with emotional depth. The track exemplifies Annie Lenon and Dave Stewart's signature style, merging synth-pop sensibilities with a narrative that addresses anxiety and the anticipation of future challenges. While the song does not appear on their major studio albums, its inclusion in Boxed highlights its significance within their broader discography and live performances. The composition captures the tension between present reality and future uncertainty, a theme that resonates through the band's career from their early synth-driven hits to their later, more introspective recordings. As a standalone piece, it serves as a testament to Eurythmics' capacity to create atmospheric soundscapes that remain relevant across decades.
