Tom Waits

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 its cold here
and I?m tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town
up by the Wisconsin border
What I miss, you wont believe
shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
I close my eyes every nite
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 dont know how Im supposed to feel
bout all the blood thats been spilled
Will god on this throne
get me back home
on the day after tomorrow
You cant deny, the other side
Dont want to die anymore then we do
What Im trying to say is dont 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
Im 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 Ive been told
Were 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 winters frost dear
And I know we too are made
of all the things that we have lost here
Ill 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
