DON'T ASK FOR TOMORROW song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on a translation of ODES 1:11
by the ancient Roman poet, Horace
(Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65 BC – 8 BC)

don't ask
don't ask
you don't really want to know what for
the end has in store for us

O Luke, Lucretius
reading the stars is useless
you're better off not seeing
it's better not to guess

it's better to simply endure
whether or not you are sure
of what will come to pass

whether or not Jupiter
will grant us one last winter
on the Mar Tirreno shore

so wise up and pour the wine
cut back on talk so wild
cause while we drink time slips away
so reap the day my child

and don't trust in tomorrow
tomorrow never knows
and we must seize the moment
before the West Wind blows

don't ask for tomorrow
don't ask
you don't really want to know what for
the end has in store for us

just trust
trust in fate
before it's too late
don't even ask

don't ask for tomorrow
don't ask for tomorrow
don't ask for tomorrow
don't even ask
