Lyrics  
TOMMY
(STEVE DAFOE 2006)
(COPYRIGHTED)



VERSE 1:

BEFORE THE DAYS OF NOW AS
POWERFUL IMAGES STILL REMAIN
HE WAS BARELY A YOUNG MAN WHEN
HIS HEART STOPPED IN THE DARK RAIN
A BEACON OF HOPE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD


CHORUS 1:

I STILL HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES AND PINCH MYSELF TO
REALIZE THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE AND THAT YOU'RE REALLY GONE......

A LIFE SO BRIGHT, JUST A SHINING LIGHT, JUST A FRIEND TO ALL...
YOU COULDN'T OVERCOME...YOU JUST COULDN'T WIN THIS FIGHT

OH SO TOMMY....WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO?
OH TOMMY...THAT WAS THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS........ 


VERSE 2:
AS THE THUNDER ROLLED AROUND AND
ON ANOTHER DAY OF FOG AND DARK RAIN
GOD MAKES A CHOICE FOR HEAVEN AND OR HELL
THE SILENCE OF THE PAIN AND SORROW ONLY
BROKEN BY THE RINGING OF CHURCH BELLS



CHORUS 2:

OH OUR TOMMY TOMMY...WHY DO THE GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS
.... ALWAYS HAVE TO GO?

YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU BELIEVED MORE IN ME THAN
I DID IN MYSELF.......

OH SO TOMMY........WHERE ARE YOU KNOW?
OH TOMMY........WHY THE FINAL BOW?



VERSE 3:

BACK THEN I COULD BARELY COMPREHEND LIFE
LET ALONE THE MAGNITUDE OF DEATH...
FOR HIM...NO FUTURE...NO DREAMS.....NO WIFE
THE MEMORY OF THE HORROR MEANT
TOMMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE.....
