The Saints Are Coming

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
There is a house in New OrleansThey call the Rising SunIt's been the ruin of many a poor boyAnd God, I know I'm oneI cried to my daddy on the telephoneHow long nowUntil the clouds unroll and you come homeThe line wentBut the shadows still remain since your descentYour descentI cried to my daddy on the telephoneHow long nowUntil the clouds unroll and you come homeThe line wentBut the shadows still remain since your descentYour descentThe saints are coming, the saints are comingI say no matter how I try, I realise there's no replyThe saints are coming, the saints are comingI say no matter how I try, I realise there's no replyNew birth to the rebirthNew orleansLiving like birds in magnolia treesA child on a rooftop, a mother on her kneesHer sign readsPlease, I am an americanA drowning sorrow floods the deepest griefHow long nowUntil a weather change condemns beliefHow long nowWhen the night watchman lets in the thiefWhat's wrong nowThe saints are coming, the saints are comingI say no matter how I try, I realise there's no replyThe saints are coming, the saints are comingI say no matter how I try, I realise there's no replyI say no matter how I try, I realise there's no replyI say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply
