Sure Thing

I know it’s hard to see tomorrow
Tomorrow’s never been a friend of yours
But somewhere a thousand miles away the sun has took to risin’
It’ll come in through the windows
Paint the floors
And I’m here too as certain as the sunlight
Though I know I can’t quite bring you to believe
One day you’ll put some faith in your tomorrow
Long enough to close your eyes and breathe
CHORUS
(And) though I know that nothing’s guaranteed
And we borrow everything we need
And the future is every bit as certain as the spring
Maybe I could be your sure thing
I can’t promise days of only roses
Any more than I can send you sunny skies
But we can make the good days great and the bad days quicker passing
Or at least we sure as hell can try
And I’ll be here as real as rain in April
For the days the burning sun has got you beat
So you can put some faith in your tomorrow
And rest a little easier when you sleep
Maybe I could be
Baby I could be
Maybe I could be
I could be your sure thing

Laughter and Linen

I try to live in the here and now
and mostly I do all right
But out the corner of my eye
I watch the time the whole night
I’ve got a fight to pick with someone in the sky or in the Earth below
‘Cause everything that’s good, that’s good, that’s good has got to end
That’s just the way it goes
But somewhere in the distance I see laughter
Laughter and linen
Yes, somewhere in the distance I see after
All that we’ve given
Of ourselves
I know that things are bound to change
And people tend to come and go
I have a feeling you’ll be here for a while
So make yourself at home
I’ve got a fight to pick with somethin’ in the stars
Or in the midnight sky
I worked too damn hard for all the people in my life to have to let them fly
I see curtains blowin’ in the sunlight
I see warm days and warmer nights
I see hard work and a whole lot of fight
But I see laughter
