U2 - Saints Are Coming lyrics

rate me

There is a house in New Orleans<br />

They call The Rising Sun<br />

It's been the ruin of many a poor boy<br />

And God, I know I'm one<br />

<br />

I cried to my daddy on the telephone<br />

How long now?<br />

Until the clouds unroll and you come down<br />

The line went<br />

But the shadows still remain since your descent<br />

Your descent<br />

<br />

I cried to my daddy on the telephone<br />

How long now?<br />

Until the clouds unroll and you come home<br />

The line went<br />

But the shadows still remain since your descent<br />

Your descent<br />

<br />

The saints are coming, the saints are coming<br />

I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply<br />

The saints are coming, the saints are coming<br />

I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply<br />

<br />

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief<br />

How long now?<br />

Until the weather change condemns belief<br />

How long now?<br />

When the night watchman lets in the thief<br />

What?s wrong now?<br />

<br />

The saints are coming, the saints are coming<br />

I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply<br />

The saints are coming, the saints are coming<br />

I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply<br />

I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply<br />

I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply<br /><br />
