joel grey - i'll be here tomorrow lyrics
[jacobowsky]
mama took the dishes, the furniture
mama took the pillows, the candlesticks
mama took the children and fled to berlin
i grew into manhood, a citizen
i went into business, a patriot
foolishly believing i belonged in berlin
my incurable optimism
then that knock on the door
in the dead of the night
saying, “run, the sky is falling
run, the ship is sinking”
through the blind confusion
i remember still what i was thinking
i’ll be here tomorrow
alive and well and thriving
i’ll be here tomorrow
my talent is surviving
if beforе the dawn this fragile world might crack
someonе’s got to try to put the pieces back
so from beneath the rubble
you’ll hear a little voice say
life is worth the trouble
have you a better choice?
so let the skeptics say tonight
we’re dead and gone
i’ll be here tomorrow
simply going on
[jacobowsky, spoken]
migration number two
[jacobowsky]
we moved to vienna, the city of waltzes
of strudel and glitter and gold
we moved to vienna, but under the waltzes
a strange countermelody, ruthless and cold
“run, your life’s in danger
run, you’ve been defeated”
racing through the night
i looked up at the stars as i repeated
i’ll be here tomorrow
alive and well and thriving
i’ll be here tomorrow
my talent is surviving
if before the dawn
this fragile world might crack
someone’s got to try to put the pieces back
so from beneath the rubble
you’ll hear a little voice say
life is worth the trouble
have you a better choice?
so let the skeptics say tonight
we’re dead and gone
i’ll be here tomorrow
simply going on
to paris, to paris, the city of freedom
and wonder and music and lights
but even in paris
i’m dreading that knock on the door
in the dead of the night
“run, the sky is falling
run, the ship is sinking”
when that moment happens
you know very well what i’ll be feeling
[instrumental]
someone’s got to try to put the pieces back
so from beneath the rubble
you’ll hear a little voice say
life is worth the trouble
have you a better choice?
so let the skeptics say tonight
we’re dead and gone
i’ll be here tomorrow
simply going on
