Lyrics When The Old Man Comes - Crash Test Dummies

When The Old Man Comes

I’ll be here when the Old Man comes
I’ll be here when He gets it done
… raise his cane and He’ll shoot His gun
But I’ll be here when the Old man comes
Some will laugh and some will cry
Some will watch while others die
But when all is finally said and done
I’ll have lost, and He’ll have won
Yes, I’ll have lost, and He’ll have won
I’ll be here in English town,
waiting for that awesome sound
When the Lord finally makes the sky come down
I’ll be here in English town
I’ll be here when the heavens part
I’ll be here with an open heart
The skies will split, and the clouds depart
I’ll be here when the heavens part
I’ll be here when He calls my name
and when He puts my life to shame
I will … my guilt and blame
I’ll be here when He calls my name
