Saints are coming de U2

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

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
No matter how I try, I realise there’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–The stone says
This paternal guide once had his day–Once had his day

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
No matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming

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
