Joan Baez - Day After Tomorrow Lyrics






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
But I 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
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
About all the blood that's been spilled
Look out on the street
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'm trying 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?
And who throws the dice
On the day after tomorrow?

Mmmmmmm...
I'm 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
You're just the gravel on the road
And the one's that are lucky
One's come home
On the day after tomorrow

And the summer
It too will fade
And with it comes 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've 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

  1. M.... P....

    I get another chance to get it right

    I believe in prophecy.
    Some folks see things not everybody can see.
    And,once in a while,they pass the secret along to you and me.

    And I believe in miracles.
    Something sacred burning in every bush and tree.
    We can all learn to sing the songs the angels sing.

    Yeah, I believe in God, and God ain't me.

    I've traveled around the world,
    Stood on mighty mountains and gazed across the wilderness.
    Never seen a line in the sand or a diamond in the dust.

    And as our fate unfurls,
    Every day that passes I'm sure about a little bit less.
    Even my money keeps telling me it's God I need to trust.

    And I believe in God, but God ain't us.

    God,in my little understanding, don't care what name I call.
    Whether or not I believe doesn't matter at all.

    I receive the blessings.
    That every day on Earth's another chance to get it right.
    Let this little light of mine shine and rage against the night.

    Just another lesson
    Maybe someone's watching and wondering what I got.
    Maybe this is why I'm here on Earth, and maybe not.
    Chorus:
    But I believe in God, and God is God.

    Inspirational in the dark days ahead.
