Man of No Tomorrow Lyrics
I’m a man of no tomorrow
Waiting for the night
I’m a man of no tomorrow
I’ll never know the light

I known trouble all of my days
On pain and strife I was raised
That’s just been the way it is
What you ain’t had you can not miss

I’m a man of no tomorrow
Waiting for the night
I’m a man of no tomorrow
I’ll never know the light

I been trav’ling the road too long
I guess it’s time I passed on
It chills me through to the bones
I can’t look back I’ll turn to stone

I’m a man of no tomorrow
Waiting for the night
I’m a man of no tomorrow
I’ll never know the light

From the corner of this strange room
I sit like in a dark tomb
I think back on what has passed
Where will I find true peace at last

I’m a man of no tomorrow
Waiting for the night
I’m a man of no tomorrow
I’ll never know the light

All those people that I have know’d
All those seeds that have been sowed
I don’t know where it all went
I can’t keep count of what I spent

Footsteps smash the silence of the night
There’s darting flickering lights
I see shadows on the wall
I hear voices in the hall
I feel them coming for me
They’re coming for me
Coming for me

I’m a man of no tomorrow
Waiting for the night
I’m a man of no tomorrow
I’ll never know the light

I’m a man of no tomorrow
Waiting for the night
I’m a man of no tomorrow
I’ll never know the light

Paul Robert Thomas
