|
Long time, no sound, long years, waiting and waiting |
|
I hear it now, too loud, too strange to ignore |
|
I'll watch that road, my heart steady as a snare drum |
|
When you get here, I'm gonna meet you |
|
Like the ocean meets the shore |
|
Don't hang that head, you know it's nothing I ain't seen before |
|
Bring me your trash, your love as messy as a plum |
|
Bring me your weight, your shame and the devil on your shoulder |
|
When you get here, I'm gonna hold you |
|
Like the heavens hold the sun |
|
It's done, now here you come, smelling of the struggle |
|
I've worn that face before and it always leaves a stain |
|
Broke down screen door, don't bother with the bell |
|
When you get here, I'm gonna greet you |
|
Like the desert greets the rain |
