I cried to my daddy on the telephone
How long now

’Til 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

’Til a weather change condemns belief
The stone says

This paternal guide once had his day
Once had his day

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 cried to my daddy on the telephone
How long now

’Til 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
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
