I am Music

For Tristesse

A little something for you. I know you remember him. I saw him in a tiny little club in Philadelphia when I was around 14, and fell in love and have loved him ever since. That voice....

I loved Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1926 – February 7, 2009). She was jazzy, unique, wonderfully sexy, girlish, and absolutely nonpareil.

But she was not for all tastes. I think she was wonderful. You may think she couldn't sing at all. 'S OK. Check her out, anyway.
 
Day After Tomorrow - Tom Waits



I got your letter today
and I miss you all so much here.
I can't wait to see you all
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,
who spins the wheel,
on the day after tomorrow?

I'm not fighting for justice
and I’m 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 will fade
and with it brings 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, it will touch down,
on the day after tomorrow.
And my plane, it will touch down,
on the day after tomorrow.
