Long time, no sound, long years, waiting and waiting I hear it now, too loud, too strange to ignore I'll watch that road, my heart steady as a snare drum When you get here, I'm gonna meet you Like the ocean meets the shore Don't hang that head, you know it's nothing I ain't seen before Bring me your trash, your love as messy as a plum Bring me your weight, your shame and the devil on your shoulder
When you get here, I'm gonna hold you Like the heavens hold the sun It's done, now here you come, smelling of the struggle I've worn that face before and it always leaves a stain Broke down screen door, don't bother with the bell When you get here, I'm gonna greet you Like the desert greets the rain
