I Will Return Songtext

von Daniel Amos

And the city stood
In a glowing splendor
'til her ashes were laid in an urn
Beneath a fast food counter
I will return

The descendants were born
And they danced their dances
Then the sound of their stmbling was great
Tilting the world off it's axis
I will return

And the women gazed in their mirrors
Suitors brought them vials of perfume
(quiet leves of desperation)
Then golden-haired locusts with the faces of angels
Sealed each of them up in a metal cocoon
And the life ran out
Just when it all seemed better
Here is a display in a granite museum
A shame on view forever
I will return

And the birdcage was eventually opened
A great flock of nuns flew away
(meeting no one's expectations)
And the saints who had slept on the head of a pin
Came down from the sky at the end of all days

Repeat first verse
I will return
(i will be coming like a thief in the night)

I will return
(i will be coming like a thief in the night), etc.
