Tomorrow the Sorrow Begins

歌詞

Kids hold balloons coloured red, white and blue Their mothers cheer with them as they always do In my heart I'm weeping, but I'm cheering too Tomorrow the sorrow begins Kids' eyes are popping as they take in her size Champagne bottle explodes on her side She slips in the water, then away with the tide Tomorrow the sorrow begins Waving as the last ship sails from the Tyne I helped to build her, so, part of her's mine Sailing away with my hopes and my dreams Tomorrow the sorrow begins Our Yard, it once employed thousands of men We prayed for the good times to come back again It never happened, our prayers were in vain Tomorrow the sorrow begins Guillotines and flanges now stand silent and still There's such an emptiness no sound will ever fill As the rain it drizzles down, my last hopes to kill Tomorrow the sorrow begins (guitar) (Instrumental) I got my letter, I was just numb inside I knew it would happen, but it still hurt my pride When I showed it to my wife, I thought that she would cry Tomorrow the sorrow begins She showed me the paper, there's work to be had Down at the Call Centre and the pay's not too bad I said that I'd go down there, I saw that she was glad Tomorrow the sorrow begins Waving as the last ship sails from the Tyne I helped to build her, so, part of her's mine Sailing away with my hopes and my dreams Tomorrow the sorrow begins Tomorrow the sorrow begins Tomorrow the sorrow begins
