Come Back Soon |
I remember the day of the Tennessee flood |
The sound of the scream and the sight of the blood |
My son he saw as the animal died |
In the jaws of the dog as the river ran by |
I said, «Come back soon» |
It was there on the page of the book that I read |
The boy grew up and the yearling was dead |
He stood at the gate with the angel on guard |
And wept to the death of his little boy heart |
I said, «Come back soon» |
Come back soon |
We wake in the night in the womb of the world |
We beat our fists on the door |
We cannot breathe in the sea that swirls |
So we groan in this great darkness |
For deliverance |
Deliverance, o Lord |
So I sit on the bench at the bend in the trail |
And I can feel in the fall the final exhale |
The trees of the field all wring their hands |
And the leaves go by like a funeral band |
I say, «Come back soon» |
Come back soon |
We wake in the night in the womb of the world |
We beat our fists on the door |
We cannot breathe in this sea that swirls |
So we groan in this great darkness |
Are we alone in this great darkness? |
If nature’s red in tooth and in claw |
Seems to me that she’s an outlaw |
'Cause every death is a question mark |
At the end of the book of a beating heart |
And the answer’s scrawled on the silent dark |
In the dome of the sky in a billion stars |
But we cannot read these angel tongues |
We cannot stare at the burning sun |
And we cannot breathe with these broken lungs |
So we kick in the womb and we beg to be born |
Deliverance! |
Oh, deliverance, o Lord! |
Deliverance! |
Oh, deliverance, o Lord! |
