One More Tomorrow

Written by S. Nicks

One more tomorrow
Come early before dawn
'Cause the dawn brings the shadows
Until the dawn
Ooh, stay in the moonlight
Challenge the stars
Stay until all of your dreams have burned down the walls
Soon will come the daylight
And the night will be gone
And the dreams turn inside and inside out

Sometimes to turn away from you
And not even fall
Sometimes to be taken by you
How long has it been?
As it all begins again
Well, I wish I was strong enough to do the right thing

But I'm not
And you know that
No, I'm not
And you know that

Don't even start
Don't even start

So I sang to him
Come the daylight
And the night will go
Dreams turn inside, then turn inside out
Try to turn me away
You must leave her now

One more tomorrow
Come early before dawn
'Cause the dawn brings the shadows
Stay 'til the dawn
Stay 'til the moon
Challenge the stars
Stay 'til the dreams burned down
Soon will come the daylight
And the night will have gone

It's hard sometimes to turn away from you
Not even pause to be taken by you
Just how long has it been?
As it all begins again
Well,  I wish I was strong enough...

One more tomorrow
Come early before dawn....

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This song sounds so much like Van Halen's "Jump" in the beginning that I keep expecting to hear David Lee Roth! But the lyrics are terrific - vivid, poetic, and thought-provoking. Here are my thoughts on this: I think this song is about Stevie and Lindsey occasionally giving into passion after their breakup. They'd have a night together and try to relive those dreams before the dawn comes and they go back to the reality of being apart, and those dreams that they've been reliving turn "inside out."

In the second verse she talks about how it's been a long time since they've been together, and since they are still drawn to each other, they allow themselves to become intimate once more - and "it all begins again" (see Fall from Grace) - the drama, passion, pain. Stevie wishes she was "strong enough to do the right thing" and resist the temptation...."but [she's] not" - and furthermore, Lindsey knows this, and keeps on enticing her, although she asks him "Don't even start" because she knows she'll give in. Then the daylight comes, and she has to leave, although "it's hard to turn away from" him. Until the next time he comes early before dawn....

Yes the song "One More Tomorrow sounds a little bit like Van Halen's "Jump" in the beginning, but I think it sounds just like the Sandy Stewart song"Leave it all Behind" from her solo album Cat Dancers exactly how the melody is played on the synthesizer.
