tom waits lyrics
[verse 1]
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 here

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
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
[chorus]
what i miss, you won’t believe
shoveling snow and raking leaves
and my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
i still don’t know how i’m supposed to feel
about all the blood that’s been spilled
will god on his throne get me back home
on the day after tomorrow?

[verse 4]
you can’t deny, the other side
don’t want to die anymore than we do
what i’m trying to say is, don’t they pray
to the same god that we do?

[chorus]
tell me how does god choose
whose prayers does he refuse?
who turns the wheel? who throws the dice
on the day after tomorrow?
[verse 5]
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 6]
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

[chorus]
i’ll be twenty+one today
i 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
