I'm a yellow leaf that's fallen

On a rushing Mountain stream

I'm a child who's convinced he should chase after all his dreams

And i had it all planned out

But the more I learn it seems

I'd be a foolish man to count on my inflated self esteem

And I don't know what will happen come tomorrow

Cos all thats ever really promised is today

Oh oh I couldn't tell you where I'm heading darling

But I'm sure that I'm on my way

Well I found myself a lady

And I gave her my last name

I'm her Alabama Summer, she's my sweet Seattle Rain

And I know that we've both grown

But I often feel the same

Like the usual self critic but with twice the self to blame

And I don't know what will happen come tomorrow

Cos all thats ever really promised is today

Oh oh I couldn't tell you where we're heading darling

But I'm sure that we're on our way

Its crazy how a moment

Can change a persons life

And all at once your confidence is thrown under the knife

Yeah our wounds may never heal

And our weaknesses may thrive

But the tragedy just helps us see we're blessed to be alive

And I don't know what will happen come tomorrow

Cos all thats ever really promised is today

Oh oh I couldn't tell you where we're heading brother

But I'm sure that we're on our way
