The Day After TomorrowVerse 1The calendar page is heavy and slow,I pack up my bags and I’m ready to go.Today is just noise and yesterday's pain,Washing away in a cold gray rain.I’m counting the hours, I’m locking the door,I don’t want to carry this weight anymore.ChorusAnd the sun’s going to rise, pure and clear,Erase all the doubt and quiet the fear.No more looking back at the sorrow,I’m stepping on home on the day after tomorrow.Yes, the day after tomorrow.Verse 2The train tracks run far past the edge of the town,Where the dust settles quiet and the night settles down.They talk of the trouble, they talk of the cost,They measure the years by the things we have lost.But I’ve saved up my pay, and I’ve kept up my sight,Through the long bitter chill of the darkest long night.ChorusAnd the sun’s going to rise, pure and clear,Erase all the doubt and quiet the fear.No more looking back at the sorrow,I’m stepping on home on the day after tomorrow.Yes, the day after tomorrow.OutroJust forty-eight hours,Just two turns of the sun.And the long way is over,And the new life is done being dreamed—It’s here.On the day after tomorrow.
