Kiss of the Spider Woman movie - The Day After That lyrics
rate me<br>
[VALENTIN]<br>
<br>
It was made out of mud <br>
And pieces of tin <br>
And boxes nailed together <br>
Cardboard boxes <br>
My castle <br>
My home <br>
And we slept on the floor <br>
My sister and I <br>
With gunny sacks for our pillows <br>
Coughing, hungry, cosy <br>
My home <br>
And every Sunday on our knees <br>
We would thank the Lord <br>
For his bountiful blessings <br>
And our mother poured soup <br>
Into little cracked bowls <br>
As she spoke of something better <br>
Beef steak, maybe, someday <br>
My home <br>
And that lady had eyes <br>
That were empty and cold <br>
At the ripe old age of thirty <br>
Death came <br>
Welcome <br>
To my home <br>
And still that Sunday <br>
On our knees <br>
How we thanked the Lord <br>
For his bountiful blessings <br>
And my sister and I <br>
Swore the day that we left <br>
There'd be no more children like us <br>
In the filth there in the heat there. <br>
In the smell there <br>
And no more Sundays <br>
On our knees <br>
Would we thank the Lord <br>
For his bountiful blessings <br>
And we came to the city <br>
And begged for our food <br>
Then, one April day we heard it <br>
Thunder rumbling <br>
One man speaking <br>
Thousands singing .. <br>
Someday we'll be free <br>
I promise you, we'll be free <br>
If not tomorrow <br>
Then the day after that <br>
And the candles in our hands <br>
Will illuminate this land <br>
If not tomorrow <br>
Then the day after that <br>
And the world that gives us pain <br>
That fills our lives with fear <br>
On the day after that <br>
Will disappear <br>
And the war we've fought to win <br>
I promise you, we will win <br>
If not tomorrow <br>
Then the day after that <br>
Or the day after that <br>
<br>
[VALENTIN]<br>
<br>
and families of the disappeared <br>
Someday we'll be free <br>
I promise you, we'll be free <br>
If not tomorrow <br>
Then (Or) the day after that <br>
And the candles in our hands <br>
Will illuminate this land <br>
If not tomorrow <br>
Then the day after that <br>
And the world that gives us pain <br>
That fills our lives with fear <br>
On the day after that <br>
Will disappear <br>
Will disappear <br>
And the war we've fought to win <br>
I promise you, we will win <br>
If not tomorrow <br>
Then the day after that <br>
Or the day after that <br>
Or the day after that <br>
Or the day after that <br>
Or the day after that <br>
Or the day <br>
After that!<br>
<br>
