Tom Verlaine - Kingdom Come Lyrics
(Verlaine)Well, I walked in the pouring rainAnd I heard the voice that cries it's all in vainThe face of doom was shining in my roomI just need one day somewhere far awayLord, I just need one day.Well, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesAnd I'll be cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comesYes, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesIt's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes.The river's so muddy, but it may come clearAnd I know too well what's keeping me hereI'm just a slave of a burning rayGive me the night, I can't take another sightPlease give me the night.Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesAnd I'll be cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comesYes, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comesIt's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes.The sun keeps beating down, the wall's a mile highUp in the towers they're watching me, hoping I'm gonna dieBut they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comesI won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comesYes, they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comesI won't hear their talk when the Kingdom comesI'm going up for a pardon when the Kingdom comesWell pardon me, when the Kingdom comesI won't be breaking no rockI won't be breaking no rockI won't be breaking no rockWhen the Kingdom comes.
