Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Lyrics
Stay with them now for they won't see you no more
Like a gypsy forever on the run
Stay for a while, while ya look for a home
Like that sailor leaves, come back again
Stay for a while, and they won't see you again
Like that gypsy caravan forever on the run
Ya stay for a while, then you pick up and go
That's how you show
Your love for me
That's how you show
Your love for me
You're like
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Each time you call
You leave a little sorrow
You're like
Gone tomorrow
Each time you come
You leave a little sorrow
You're like
Leavin' everyone to console their aching heart
Like that snow that fell, looks so wrong and out of place
Stay for a while, then you leave without a trace
Your 'xactly like that storm, that tore the town apart
Leave everyone to console their aching heart
Like that snow that fell, looks so wrong and out of place
Stay for a while, leave without a trace
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Each time you call
You leave a little sorrow
You're like
Oooh-huh
Oh-ho
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Hmmm, like
You're like
You're like
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Each time you call
You leave a little sorrow
You're like
You're like
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Each time you call
You leave a little sorrow
You're like
Here today
Here today but gone tomorrow
Written by the Ohio Players in about 1968. Fabulous soul sound - fully captured by Bowie's version. Such a glorious song The original was a bit faster, but I just love this version - very well covered with a huge amount of reverence to the original
This was an interesting cover that he added in David Live...I still wait to listen to the original...but I loved it, anyway.
Someone very kindly rated up a comment I had made on this, so I revisited the comment and saw that someone had altered the composers names to the Ramones - who have a different song with same name - although David Live was released in the same year the Ramones formed (spooky!). This version was written by the Ohio Players themselves. There are a few different songs with this title, not suprisingly, as it is such a good phrase.
