Tomorrow’s Another Day
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
Through the window I listen to the train go by
it’s been a little bit since I’ve been outside
but hey tomorrow’s another day
Been waiting for the sun to show its face
to shed a little light on an ugly place
but hey tomorrow’s another day
PRE CHORUS
As the dawn it comes a creepin’ in
the darkness ends a chance for us
to try again to try another way
Every step along we go
walk the only way we know,
and let the morning lead us on our way
Cause hey
CHORUS
Hey hey tomorrow’s another day
VERSE 2
Pack my things, head out back
walk through the trees along the railroad tracks.
I’m never looking back
But It feels a little bit dead out here,
nothing up ahead is coming in too clear,
maybe the end is drawing near
PRE CHORUS
We all gotta have somethin’ to live for,
wanna have someone to die for
or so the story says
Gotta hold on to ones we love
everybody needs a shove
to get up off the ground and start again
But hey, hey hey
BRIDGE
Hear the story of a life
got lost in a fight
didn’t make no sense, make no sense
How many gotta die
fore’ they see it ain’t right, see it ain’t right
Little hope no light
ain’t nobody gonna fight
nobody gonna stand is it ever gonna end
If we don’t look into the light
VERSE 3
I said today I’m gonna cut the gin
but I drowned myself in a bottle again
well hey, tomorrow’s another day
And there ain’t nothin’ quite like a one night stand
to watch your life slip through your hands
but hey, we’ll all be dead someday
PRE CHORUS
We all got a little voice talks to us
somewhere deep inside us but
do they all sound the same?
Just for once, man I’d like
to hear it say you done good you’ll be OK
just keep your shoulders straight
As the dawn it comes a creepin’ in
the darkness ends a chance for us
to try again to try another way
But hey, hey hey…
CHORUS
Tomorrow’s another day
Tomorrow’s another day
Tomorrow’s another day

Let’s Start This Over
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
Lately I’ve been thinking
About the good old days
A little too much drinking
We’d sit back and waste the days away
Hoping that this world would never change
But lately I’ve been sinking in a hole I dug myself
And after all this drinking
It’s harder to remember how it felt
Back before the world had gone to hell
CHORUS
So let’s start this over
And take it back where it all began
Let’s try this sober
Rewrite the rules and play again
Maybe if we learn a little earlier we might
Just start this over
This time we’d get it right
VERSE 2
Since I can remember, I’ve looked into the sky
And dreamt about my future
A compassionate, sophisticated guy
But I must have pictured someone else’s life
Cause now I sit here drinking most every single night
Telling people stories and singing songs about a better life
And If I had another chance to get it right
CHORUS
So let’s start this over
And take it back where it all began
Let’s try this sober
Rewrite the rules and play again
Maybe if we learn a little earlier we might
Just start this over
This time we’d get it right
BRIDGE
Was it something I said was it something I did that it ended up like this?
I’m in over my head and I’m all out of time.
I used to be on the top but now I’m falling behind
Seems I just can’t get it right
But It’s all up to me, I’ve just gotta decide
CHORUS
Let’s start this over
And take it back where it all began
Let’s try this sober
Yah maybe if we set aside the arrogance this time
Maybe if we tried a little harder we could find
Someone better than we’ve been
Somewhere buried deep inside
Cause It’s not over
So this time let's get it right

So Far to Go
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
Show me the way but take it slow
I know that I have so far yet to go
Along the way my knees have gotten old
But I'll follow you everywhere you go
VERSE 2
I have driven down so many roads
As many different people come and go
Been looking for the road that leads to home
So show me the way but take it slow
CHORUS
And I know that everything that's in my heart is in my hands
And I know somehow you've been here this whole time helping me stand
When I feel like I've walked all the way from here to Mexico
Still I know
I've got so far to go
VERSE 3
I feel as though my heart it's going cold
The days and nights are steady growing old
As if my story's already been told
Sometimes it feels like I'm ready to go
CHORUS
And I know that everything that's in my heart is in my hands
And I know somehow you've been here this whole time helping me stand
When I feel like I've walked all the way from here to Mexico
Still I know
I've got so far to go
BRIDGE
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The clock is ticking down ever slow
Tearing out the seams in my clothes in my clothes
It's wearing down the surface of my soul
VERSE 4
Show me the way but take it slow
I know that I have so far yet to go
Along the way my knees have gotten old
But I'll follow you everywhere you go
CHORUS
And I know that everything that's in my heart is in my hands
And I know somehow you've been here this whole time helping me stand
When I feel like I've walked all the way from here to Mexico
Still I know
I've got so far to go

Whiskey On Her Lips
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
I was sitting on a bar stool
When she walked over to me
She moved in real close and
And put her lips against my cheek
She said, hey boy I’ve got something
That I’d like you to see
I said hell I’d do anything
Anything you asked of me
VERSE 2
She drained her glass and slammed it
On the bar and took a seat
She poured another whisky
And she slid it down to me
I probably should have passed it up
I was already in too deep
But goddamn
I love the way she looks at me
CHORUS
When she’s got whisky on her lips
Like the seven deadly sins
You better try to hold her back
Boy you best not let her in
Cause when that bottle’s in her grip
And the devil’s on her hips
She’s gonna try to pull you down
With her with every little sip
VERSE 2
A dozen other nights
They all played out just the same
Sometimes we’d wake up in the morning
And forget each other’s names
Head back out in the evening
And we’d play her little game
But man it gets tough
When every single night it ends this way
CHORUS
When she’s got whisky on her lips
Like the seven deadly sins
You better try to hold her back
Boy you best not let her in
Cause when that bottle’s in her grip
And the devil’s on her hips
She’s gonna try to pull you down
With her with every little sip
BRIDGE
I wonder where that girl is now
Still sometimes I think about
Whether she’s still standing or if she fell down
Man I didn’t know what I’d found
What I would not give just to see her now
She might get up and walk right out
Or would she come over and sit right down
For just one more night and one more round
CHORUS
When she’s got whisky on her lips
Like the seven deadly sins
You better try to hold her back
Boy you best not let her in
Cause when that bottle’s in her grip
And the devil’s on her hips
She’s gonna try to pull you down
With her with every little sip
END CHORUS
I wonder where that girl is now
Still sometimes I think about
Whether she’s still standing or if she fell down
Man I didn’t know what I’d found
What I would not give just to see her now
She might get up and walk right out
Or would she come over and sit right down
For just one more night and one more round

Been a Long Time
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
Was awake in a dream
Tried to talk to you but couldn’t breathe
Was alone at the edge of the world
Holding hands with some other girl
CHORUS
It’s been a long time since I called you mine
Been a long road and we’re taking our time
Been a long time since I called you a friend
And I’d like to do so once again
VERSE 2
The thought of you just wouldn’t leave
Was a vision I couldn’t believe
And a future I just couldn’t see
A future without you and me
CHORUS
It’s been a long time since I called you mine
Been a long road and we’re taking our time
Been a long time since I called you a friend
And I’d like to do so once again
BRIDGE
She knows all of my desires
She breaks me down and lights the fire
But I turned away from that life
To a place where that fire doesn’t light
CHORUS
It’s been a long time since I called you mine
Been a long road and we’re taking our time
Been a long time since I called you a friend
And I’d like to do so once again
It’s been a long time since I held your hand
Been a long time since you called me your man
Been a long sobering road and I feel like I could love you once again

Cold and Lonely Ride
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
There may be something different about me in my life
It's a vacant, sad expression that I wear most of the time
If I could I'd hop a bus to where the sun don't rise
But it's a cold and lonely, cold and lonely ride.
VERSE 2
I need to find a place where they don't know me for my crimes
And fortunately for me I know just the place to hide
It's way beyond my conscience just behind that wall of lies
But it's a cold and lonely, cold and lonely ride
CHORUS
All those voices in my head, made me say the things I said
And there's not gonna be a chance to run
There's not gonna be a chance to run
I've gotta go find a place to hide
But it's a cold and lonely ride
And after all is said and done
There's not gonna be a chance to run
I've gotta go find a place to hide
But it's a cold and lonely ride
VERSE 3
I'd separate myself and the world I'd leave behind
Hoping that somewhere out there, it'll all be cast aside
And I'd stay there undiscovered until the end of time
But it's a cold and lonely, cold and lonely ride
CHORUS
All those voices in my head, made me say the things I said
And there's not gonna be a chance to run
There's not gonna be a chance to run
I've gotta go find a place to hide
But it's a cold and lonely ride
And after all is said and done
There's not gonna be a chance to run
BRIDGE
All those pretty little things
And all those dreams you've had,
Those dreams you've had
Well they don't mean anything
They just leave you sad
CHORUS
All those voices in my head, made me say the things I said
And there's not gonna be a chance to run
There's not gonna be a chance to run
I've gotta go find a place to hide
But it's a cold and lonely ride
And after all is said and done
There's not gonna be a chance to run
I've gotta go find a place to hide
But it's a cold and lonely ride

Closet Full of Skeletons
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
This is my confession that I make before I go
On occasion I may not have been the man you know
I should have told you sooner but my head had come unglued
Before I got the nerve you went and got my name tattooed
CHORUS
I've got a closet full of skeletons
Right behind that door
And I'm sorry baby I cannot keep them hidden anymore
VERSE 2
I made my way downtown already had me one or two
Then while at the pub I might have had me another few
As I stepped out the truck that lady cop she told me son
You'd best come with me now cause you've got nowhere left to run
CHORUS
I've got a closet full of skeletons
Right behind that door
And I'm sorry baby I cannot keep them hidden anymore
VERSE 3
I woke one morning with another lady by my side
And 9 months later came another secret I had to hide.
She called me up from half a world away to let me know
He'd taken on a likeness to his daddy as he'd grown.
CHORUS
I've got a closet full of skeletons
Right behind that door
And I'm sorry baby I cannot keep them hidden anymore
VERSE 4
Looking to make a buck I made a deal with shady Lou
To take a shipment south across a state line maybe two
Once again I found myself in trouble with the law
This time though I understood the lesson I'd been taught
CHORUS
I've got a closet full of skeletons
Right behind that door
And I'm sorry baby I cannot keep them hidden anymore
I've got a closet full of skeletons
Right behind that door
And I'm sorry baby I cannot keep them hidden anymore

You’re In My Head
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
People come and people go
Often quick and never slow
In and out eachother’s lives
I’ll always try to picture you
Thinking back the way I do
The way that I remember you
VERSE 1B
I see you swinging in the trees
Dress is blowing the breeze
And the wind is in your hair
Summer sun is all around
Casting shadows on the ground
But were you ever really there?
CHORUS
You’re in my head I can’t forget you
In my mind every time I close my eyes
You’d never leave I don’t believe I’d ever let you
But tell me was I yours and were you ever really mine
VERSE 2
Feeling almost like a dream
Getting lost, losing steam
Something made up in my mind
Nearly forgotten, moving on
This life, it rolls along
I fear I’m leaving you behind
VERSE 2B
But as a love it falls apart
The memory it starts
To slowly fade away with time
This is not how it’s supposed to be
You should be right here next to me
You were the best I’ll ever find
CHORUS
You’re in my head I can’t forget you
In my mind every time I close my eyes
You’d never leave I don’t believe I’d ever let you
But tell me was I yours and were you ever really mine
BRIDGE
Please don’t believe I’d ever let you slip away
Into the dark
Cause I could never find
Someone to fill the hole you left inside my head and in my heart
The greatest memory of mine
CHORUS
You’re in my head I can’t forget you
In my mind every time I close my eyes
You’d never leave I don’t believe I’d ever let you
But darling was I yours and tell me were you ever mine
END CHORUS
You’re in my head I can’t forget you
Every time I close my eyes
You’d never leave, I’d never let you
The greatest memory of mine…
The greatest memory of mine.
DESCANT
Please I know darling I’ve been blind
don’t leave me alone I won’t survive

Me and You
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
Sit with me now
And talk a bit about yourself
Tell me how you've come to be so shy
Is it the color of your eyes
The way they change a bit in hue
One of them is green the other one is blue
Walk with me now
Beneath the shade of summer trees
When the world is so colorful and new
As I walk along beside you captivated by your smile
You look up at me
As the birds singing just for you
CHORUS
I see trees of green
And the color of the sun
As you lay here in the grass with me until tomorrow comes
I have everything that I could ever want
Right beside me on this little patch of grass
just me and you
VERSE 2
Talk with me now I want to know whats deep inside
All the fears you hold beside your heart
In the depths of your imagination
Memories old and new
I'll share the joy and sorrow, just to sit right here with you
CHORUS
I see trees of green
And the color of the sun
As you lay here in the grass with me until tomorrow comes
I have everything that I could ever want
Right beside me on this little patch of grass
just me and you
BRIDGE
By this time tomorrow
My obsession will not end
I will feel the same way now as I did then
And by this time tomorrow
You'll wake up you'll see
I'll be part of you and you'll be part of me
VERSE 3
Sing with me now forget about everything else
All the distractions we let into our lives
And we'll sing a different song
One that begins with you and me
And ends with us together till the end of history
CHORUS
I see trees of green
And the color of the sun
As you lay here in the grass with me until tomorrow comes
I have everything that I could ever want
Right beside me on this little patch of grass
just me and you

Can’t Let You Go
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
I can feel you crawling in my bed at night
I hear you talking in your sleep and I can
See you every time that I turn on the bedroom light
And I still do dream about the time we had
I need to get you the hell out of my head
If not soon I swear to God I’m gonna go insane
CHORUS
I could ride that train down to San Antonio
And sing every song that I know
I could take that plane up and down the coast
And I still can’t let you go
I could wrap my arms around every girl that I
meet everywhere that I go
I can try to forget but I still can’t let you go
VERSE 2
I know too much pain is in the past and
I don’t blame you for never looking back
I know I hurt you and if I could take it back you know I would
But I hope you remember just the best of me
And hold on to the happy memories because
I love you and I know that in my heart, I always will
CHORUS
I could ride that train down to San Antonio
And sing every song that I know
I could take that plane up and down the coast
And I still can’t let you go
I could wrap my arms around every girl that I
meet everywhere that I go
I can try to forget but I still can’t let you go
BRIDGE
I know they say that time heals everything
But I disagree time just makes it sting
All this time alone and will I ever let you go
Cause I could try to pretend but in the end you’re all I know
END CHORUS (Variation)
I could ride that train down to San Antonio
And sing every song that I know
I could take that plane up and down the coast
And I still can’t let you go
I could give my heart to every girl that I
meet everywhere that I go
I can try to forget but I still can’t let you go

Let Me Say Goodbye
By Edison Kitt
VERSE 1
I board the plane to Chicago
Watch the world drop away
Staring out that tiny window
Watching as my former life starts to fade
For as long as I can remember
I’ve felt this sorrow in my soul
Many years now these nights are cold and dark
Now my heart is telling me I’ve got to go
VERSE 2
Days went on and we grew closer
It breaks my heart to tell you this
While the bad outweighed the good so many times
There’s still so many things about you I will miss
CHORUS
We found love in a paper cup
The years have all but swallowed up
And now its time to dry your eyes
Though love is just a memory
I feel you holding on to me
Darling please just let me say goodbye
VERSE 3
Now’s it time to draw the curtains
Now’s it’s time to let the wind
Blow us in a new direction
Take us down another path
Where another life waits at the end
CHORUS
We found love in a paper cup
The years have all but swallowed up
And now its time to dry your eyes
Though love is just a memory
I feel you holding on to me
Darling please just let me say goodbye
BRIDGE
It’s time to call an end to
The life we knew so long ago
Broken hearts and broken windows in the past
Now the future is a thing will never know
CHORUS
We found love in a paper cup
The years have all but swallowed up
And now its time to dry your eyes
Though love is just a memory
I feel you holding on to me
Darling please just let me say goodbye
END CHORUS
We found love in a paper cup
The years have all but swallowed up
And now its time to dry your eyes
Our love is just a memory
But I feel you holding on to me
Darling please just let me say goodbye
