KINGDOM COME BLUES

Oh honey babe
Where you going to?
Oh honey babe
Can I go with you?

I’m restless in this bed
Can’t raise my head
Doctor said another shot
Is bound to kill me dead   

Oh honey babe
Won’t you draw the blinds
I think I see something
I never thought I’d find

We’re heading to the realm
Of undying love
Just beyond the clouds
Right up above 

We’re leaving for the kingdom
No we won’t be back
Soon as we’re gone
They’re tearing up the track

The brakeman he don’t wait
So don’t be late  
Train leaves the station
Quarter to eight 

When we reach that land
Yes we’ll understand
We’ll press through the crowd
To touch the savior’s hand

And when we reach the mountain
What shall we find?
Likely we’ll see
We have been blind 

Every muttered curse
Is a world reversed
Every twisted cry
Is an ancient lie

Every kingdom come
Is another kingdom lost
Don’t get me wrong
I’d gladly pay the cost 

Oh honey babe
Where you going to?
Oh honey babe
Can I go with you?
