the saints are coming

there is a house in new orleans

they call the rising sun

it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

and god

i know i'm one. i cried to my daddy on the telephone

how long now?

until the clouds unroll and you come home

the line went. but the shadows still remain since your descent

your descent. i cried to my daddy on the telephone

how long now?

until the clouds unroll and you come home

the line went. but the shadows still remain since your descent

your descent. the saints are coming

the saints are coming. i say no matter how i try

i realise there's no reply. the saints are coming

the saints are coming. i say no matter how i try

i realise there's no reply. a drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief

how long now?

until the weather change condemns belief

how long now?

when the night watchman lets in the thief

whats wrong now?

the saints are coming

the saints are coming

i say no matter how i try

i realise there's no reply. the saints are coming

the saints are coming

i say no matter how i try

i realise there's no reply. i say no matter how i try

i realise there's no reply. i say no matter how i try

i realise there's no reply.
