Tom Waits Jesus Gonna Be Here song lyrics
Well, jesus gonna be here
be here soon
he's gonna cover us up with leaves
with a blanket from the moon
with a promise and a vow
and a lullaby for my brow
jesus gonna be here
be here soon
Well i'm just gonna wait here
i don't have to shout
i have no reason and
i have no doubt
i'm gonna get myself
unfurled from this mortal coiled up world
because jesus gonna be here
be here soon
I got to keep my eyes open
so i can see my lord
i'm gonna watch the horizon.
for a brand new ford
I can hear him rolling on down the lane
i said hollwood be thy name
jesus gonna be
gonna be here soon
Well i've been faithful
and i've been so good
except for drinking
but he knew that i would
i'm gonna leave this place better
than the way i found it was
and jesus gonna be here
be here soon
