...and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather

PS Claim to fame - Kate once sang me a song - ie. I was the only one in the audience, in Wensum Lodge, warming up - I was very early, trembling like a schoolboy. HGS were tucked up in bed over the road.
I got your letter today
And I miss you all so much here
I can't wait to see you home
And I long for your touch 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
What I miss you won't believe
Shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane it 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
That 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
And my plane
It will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
You can't deny
That 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 throws the dice?
And who spins the wheel
On the day after tomorrow?
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
We're just the gravel on the road
Will God on his throne
Please get me back 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 two 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 it will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
And my plane it will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
