I’ll Be Here Tomorrow

Lyrics

[JACOBOWSKY] Mama took the dishes, the furniture Mama took the pillows, the candlesticks Mama took the children and fled to Berlin I grew into manhood, a citizen I went into business, a patriot Foolishly believing I belonged in Berlin My incurable optimism Then that knock on the door In the dead of the night Saying, "Run, the sky is falling Run, the ship is sinking" Through the blind confusion I remember still what I was thinking I'll be here tomorrow Alive and well and thriving I'll be here tomorrow My talent is surviving If beforе the dawn this fragile world might crack Someonе's got to try to put the pieces back So from beneath the rubble You'll hear a little voice say Life is worth the trouble Have you a better choice? So let the skeptics say tonight We're dead and gone I'll be here tomorrow Simply going on [JACOBOWSKY, spoken] Migration number two [JACOBOWSKY] We moved to Vienna, the city of waltzes Of strudel and glitter and gold We moved to Vienna, but under the waltzes A strange countermelody, ruthless and cold "Run, your life's in danger Run, you've been defeated" Racing through the night I looked up at the stars as I repeated I'll be here tomorrow Alive and well and thriving I'll be here tomorrow My talent is surviving If before the dawn This fragile world might crack Someone's got to try to put the pieces back So from beneath the rubble You'll hear a little voice say Life is worth the trouble Have you a better choice? So let the skeptics say tonight We're dead and gone I'll be here tomorrow Simply going on To Paris, to Paris, the city of freedom And wonder and music and lights But even in Paris I'm dreading that knock on the door In the dead of the night "Run, the sky is falling Run, the ship is sinking" When that moment happens You know very well what I'll be feeling [Instrumental] Someone's got to try to put the pieces back So from beneath the rubble You'll hear a little voice say Life is worth the trouble Have you a better choice? So let the skeptics say tonight We're dead and gone I'll be here tomorrow Simply going on
