Canción Para Mañana

Waking up in the mornings doesn't do me too good
Looking out the window, seeing the sky darken
Walking down the street for people to see
The mountain of sorrows you let dawn

The city you left, the stones I threw
The dream you killed, the wound I bled
I hated the uniforms, the barracks' hangmen
The struggle carries the hope of dusk

Tomorrow there will be promises at my door to open
Tomorrow there will be a tear in my eyes for you

The old folks are the worst
They never had a bit of reason
But the years didn't make me very happy
Remembering is just another misstep
And who wants to look in a mirror that won't break?

Tomorrow there will be promises at my door to open
Tomorrow there will be a tear in my eyes for you

Yesterday, love agonized, left shirts to choose
A pair of glasses to see what tomorrow may bring
Yesterday, love agonized, death didn't give a choice
And who can resurrect the flowers you trampled yesterday?

Too many impossibles to not die happy
Why count stars, why live for you
Only death can hide me
Swimming backwards from you also suits you too well

Tomorrow there will be promises at my door to open
Tomorrow there will be a tear in my eyes for you
Tomorrow there will be promises at my door to live
