Day After Tomorrow Lyrics - Tom Waits

I got your letter 

Today 

An' I miss you oh 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 

An' 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 

What I miss you won't believe 

Shovellin' snow, and rakin' leaves 

And my plane will touch down 

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 

'Bout what it means 

To be a soldier 

I still don't know how I'm s'posed to feel 

'Bout all the blood that's been spilled 

Will God on his throne 

Get me back home 

On the Day After Tomorrow? 

You can't deny 

The other side 

Don't wanna die 

Any more than we do 

What I'm tryin' 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 

Who throws the dice 

On the Day After Tomorrow? 

I am 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 

We're just the gravel on the road 

And only the lucky 

Ones come home 

On the Day After Tomorrow 

And the summer 

It too will fade 

And with it brings 

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 been savin' 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
