When You Come

Crowded House

When you come across the sea

Me like a beacon guiding you to safety

The sooner the better now

And when you come the hills

Will breathe like a baby

Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean

The sooner the better now

When you come to cover me with your kisses

Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den

I'll know you by the thunderclap

Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

And that is why

I stumble to my knees

And why underneath the heavens

With the stars burning and exploding

I know I could never let you down



When you come like an iceberg float in darkness

Smashing my hull sne me to the bottom of the sea

I should know you better now

When you come your majesty to entrap me

Prince of light receding

The sooner the better now

And when you come to cover me

With your kisses hard like armour

The sooner the better now

I'll know you by the thunderclap

Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions



And that is why

I stumble to my knees

And why underneath the heavens

With the stars burning and exploding

I know I could never let you down



She came out of the water

Into my horizon

Like a cumulo nimbus

Coming in from a distance

Burning and exploding

Burning and exploding

Like a slow volcano

When you come

Cover the ground with ashes

When you come
