A Day Borrowed From Heaven
[CITIZEN 1]
Twill be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
[CITIZENS]
Twill have a sky
Wondrous blue
Twill be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
Woke up this morning and
Somehow I knew
[CITIZEN 2]
I turned my neck
And the crick was gone
[CITIZEN 3]
I heard a dove
At the break of dawn
[CITIZEN 4]
Slept on my left side and lived the night
[CITIZENS]
How can the weather be other than
Bright?
Twill be a joy
Seven till seven
Knowing for sure
Knowing for true
Will be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
Woke up this morning and
Somehow I knew
[CITIZEN 5: spoken]
Good morning, Reverend
[REVEREND BIRDSONG: spoken]
Rain
[CITIZENS]
Rain?
[CITIZEN 6]
I'd thought so
[CITIZENS]
Rain
[CITIZEN 7]
Twill be a day
Longer and gloomy
We'll have a sky
Grayer than smoke
[CITIZENS]
Twill be a day
Longer and gloomy
Knew it this morning
The moment I woke
[CITIZEN 2]
I turned my neck and the crick was there
[CITIZENS]
Oh
[CITIZEN 3]
I heard a groan on the cellar stair
[CITIZENS]
Oh my
[CITIZEN 4]
I dreamed of a pleasure
And woke in pain
[CITIZENS]
Oh, how can the weather be other than
Rain?
[GIDEON BRIGGS]
Perhaps we'd best ponder tomorrow
[CITIZENS]
Tomorrow?
[GIDEON BRIGGS]
Twill be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
Twill have a sky
Wondrous blue
Twill be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
Woke up this morning and somehow I
Knew
[CITIZENS]
Twill be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
Twill have a sky
Oh, wondrous blue
Twill be a day
Borrowed from Heaven
Wake up tomorrow and see it come true
