Lyrics

(Tom waits)

Well, jesus will 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'not gonna do nothin' but 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 hollywood 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 new 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
