Henry Russell's Last Words |
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 |
