Townes Van Zandt(1944-1997) was a singer-songwriter, born in Texasto a life on the road. Van Zandt was master of the small, intimate folkperformance, such as the July 1973 show that became Live At The Old Quarter Houston, Texas, the double album on Tomato Records. As the Austin Chroniclewrites of the re-released CD, "Alone with a guitar, he hushes the crowd with his visionary tunes that are by turns haunting and eccentric, yet filled with beauty and dark shadows." Despite chronic battles with alcoholism and depression, his songwriting displayed a sense of humour and introspection, truth and beauty. Many artists cite Townes' influence on their music, with covers of his songs recorded by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Jeffrey Foucault, Cowboy Junkies, The Be Good Tanyasand others. His son John T.

Come Tomorrow Lyrics
Townes Van Zandt
By townes van zandt
Could it be the seasons changin
The winds of winter rearranging
All the leaves like fallin queens of sorrow
Could be the freezing rain a-fallin
Could be sad september callin
Or maybe its knowin shell be gone
Come tomorrow
Well, its strange how many tortured mornings
Fell upon us with no warning
Lookin for a smile to beg and borrow
Its over now, there is no returning
A thousand bridges sadly burning
And light the way I have to walk alone
Come tomorrow
I guess that no amount of lying
To myself will stop the crying
I guess I have to take things like they are
The facts are plain to see, its only
That I aint used to being lonely
Like Im gonna be without you
Come tomorrow
Come tomorrow
