Day After Tomorrow Lyrics - Day After Tomorrow - Joan Baez

I got your letter today 

And I miss you all so much, here 

I can't wait to see you all 

And I'm counting the days, dear 

I still believe that there's gold 

At the end of the world 

And I'll come home 

To Illinois 

On the day after tomorrow 

It is so hard 

And it's cold here 

And I'm tired of taking orders 

And I miss old Rockford town 

Up by the Wisconsin border 

But I miss you won't believe 

Shoveling snow and raking leaves 

And my plane will touch tomorrow 

On the day after tomorrow 

I close my eyes 

Every night 

And I dream that I can hold you 

They fill us full of lies 

Everyone buys 

About what it means to be a soldier 

I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel 

About all the blood that's been spilled 

Look out on the street 

Get me back home 

On the day after tomorrow 

You can't deny 

The other side 

Don't want to die 

Any more than we do 

What I'm trying to say, 

Is don't they pray 

To the same God that we do? 

Tell me, how does God choose? 

Whose prayers does he refuse? 

Who turns the wheel? 

And who throws the dice 

On the day after tomorrow? 

Mmmmmmm... 

I'm not fighting 

For justice 

I am not fighting 

For freedom 

I am fighting 

For my life 

And another day 

In the world here 

I just do what I've been told 

You're just the gravel on the road 

And the one's that are lucky 

One's come home 

On the day after tomorrow 

And the summer 

It too will fade 

And with it comes the winter's frost, dear 

And I know we too are made 

Of all the things that we have lost here 

I'll be twenty-one today 

I've been saving all my pay 

And my plane will touch down 

On the day after tomorrow 

And my plane it will touch down 

On the day after tomorrow
