When I come
when I come
you don't know
I won't tell
But when I come
oh, when I come
you'll know
they'll all know
I'll steal you home just before the banquet
I've got all the places set for you and Me
I can't bear to see you suffer any longer
just waiting to hear, "Come, take Your chickens home."
We've always been waiting for you
When will He come?
will He come?
i don't know
we don't know
But when He comes
oh, when He comes
oh we'll know
we'll all know
I'm falling further, every single moment
there's nobody here waiting, anymore
so confused, been standing on a mound of ashes
and it's harder and harder and harder, each and every year
to see You in all that i do
When I come
when I come
you don't know
i won't tell
But when I come
oh, when I come
you don't know
but you'll know
I'm falling further, every single moment
there's nobody here waiting, anymore
so confused, been standing on a mound of ashes
and it's harder and harder and harder, each and every year
to see You in all that i do
and to see my reflection in You
'cause i don't want to miss what You'll do...
