Jesus Gonna Be Here


Music & 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 gonna 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 colled 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 here
Gonna be here soon


Well I've been faithfull
And I've been so good
Except for drinking
But he knew 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
