tom waits
day after tomorrow
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  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 miss, you won't believe Shovelling snow and raking 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 supposed to feel  'Bout all the blood that's been spilled Will god on this throne Get me back home On the day after tomorrow  You can't deny, the other side Don't want to die anymore then we do What I'm trying to say is don't they pray To the same god that we do?  And 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 21 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
