A song for all those in long-distance relationships and those with insatiable lust for travelling. It's about that magic last evening you spend with your partner before leaving again. All alone.
I have been performing this tune on the street for about 2 years now (using a little foot looper) and always wanted to make a version with great sound quality. The difficulty to this day was to record the individual vocal tracks during the live-performance in one take while being able to do separate mixing afterwards.
So I did a bit of research about how to do it I stumbled across a genius looping software called Möbius. It took me a good 10 hours to make it look and sound as it should. And - regarding the result - I am happy about every minute spent :)
lyrics
Go on and close the curtains
Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
Going to hold you tonight
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
Let's delay our misery
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I that I could stay
Girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
