I cried to my daddy on the telephone (How long now?)
Until the clouds unroll and you come down (The line went)
But the shadows still remain since your descent (Your descent)
Saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
Saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
A drowing sorrow floods deepest grief (How long now?)
Until the weather change condemns belief (The stone says)
This paternal guide once had his day (Once had his day)
Saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
Saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
