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

Ho, Cha, Hey

The saints area coming          C 
The saints area coming          C 

I say no matGter how I try
I realize thDere’s no reply

The saints are coming
The saints are coming

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now
Until a weather change condemns belief
How long now
When the night watchman is in the fleet
What's wrong now?

Ho, Cha, Hey

The saints are coming
The saints are coming

I say no matter how I try
I realize there’s no reply

The saints are coming
The saints are coming
