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....

 

JVC speculates:

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.
