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
