When You Come - Crowded House

When you come across the sea

Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety

The sooner the better now

And when you come

The hills will breathe like a baby

Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean

The sooner the better now

And when you come to cover me

Fresh with your kisses

Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion’s den

The sooner the better now

I’ll know you by the thunderclap

Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

And that is why

I stumble to my knees

And why, underneath the Heavens

With the stars burning and exploding

I know why I could never let you down

When you come

When you come like an iceberg float in darkness

Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea

I should know you better now

And when you come, your majesty to entrap me

Prince of light receding

The sooner the better now

And when you come to cover me

With your kisses hard like armour

The sooner the better now

I’ll know you by the thunderclap

Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey

And that is why

I stumble to my knees

And why underneath the Heavens

With the stars burning and exploding

I know why I could never let you down

She came out of the water

Into my horizon

Like a cumulo nimbus

Coming in from the distance

Burning and exploding

Burning and exploding

Like a slow volcano

When you come

Cover the ground with ashes, with ashes

Baby, when you come

Nothing changes, now

When you come

Burning and exploding

When you come

When you come
