(Verlaine)
|
Well, I walked in the pouring rain
|
And I heard the voice that cries it's all in vain
|
The face of doom was shining in my room
|
I just need one day somewhere far away
|
Lord, I just need one day.
|
|
Well, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
|
And I'll be cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comes
|
Yes, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
|
It's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes.
|
|
The river's so muddy, but it may come clear
|
And I know too well what's keeping me here
|
I'm just a slave of a burning ray
|
Give me the night, I can't take another sight
|
Please give me the night.
|
|
Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
|
And I'll be cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comes
|
Yes, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes
|
It's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes.
|
|
The sun keeps beating down, the wall's a mile high
|
Up in the towers they're watching me, hoping I'm gonna die
|
But they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comes
|
I won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comes
|
Yes, they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comes
|
I won't hear their talk when the Kingdom comes
|
I'm going up for a pardon when the Kingdom comes
|
Well pardon me, when the Kingdom comes
|
I won't be breaking no rock
|
I won't be breaking no rock
|
I won't be breaking no rock
|
When the Kingdom comes.
