New Music Monday Letters IV
The fourth installment of “Letters” is out now.
This one has two songs, one about heartbreak and time travel. The other one is about the perils of comparing ourselves too much to others.

Here are the lyrics to “It’s Tomorrow (Everywhere but Here)”
The sun climbs the trees
along the River Ij in Amsterdam.
Where a pretty girl from Athens
Walks canal-lined streets.
An afternoon train rolls through Tokyo.
Where a jazz man from New York
unloads for an early show.
It’s getting late here
but I can’t sleep.
I drove down to the place we met,
hoping we’d meet again.
It’s tomorrow everywhere but here.
I got your message late yesterday.
Your voice is so different.
I guess I am too.
I had to listen twice
Or maybe it was five times.
I forgot how bad it hurts
to hear the words you never say.
It’s tomorrow everywhere but here.
I had lunch in the park.
I think it was last Tuesday.
A girl walked by with a smile like yours.
It stole my heart away.
It’s tomorrow everywhere but here.
Michael Stegner
