The saints are coming

There is a house in new Orleans
They called the rising sun
It's been a ruin for many poor boys
And god I know I'm one

I cried to my daddy on the telephone
How long now
Until the clouds unroll and you come home
the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent (2x)

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there is no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there is no reply

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now
Until a weather change condemns belief
how long now
When the night watch melded and sympathy
Whats wrong now

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there is no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there is no reply (3x)
