paroles de chanson Day After Tomorrow - Linda Thompson

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
What I'd 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

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

You can't deny
The other side
Don't want to die
Any more than we do

What I mean 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 key?
And who rolls the dice
On the day after tomorrow?

I'm not fighting, for justice
I am not fighting, for freedom
I am just fighting, for my life here
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 one's that are lucky one's 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 21 today
And saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
