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
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 they're burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulonimbus
Coming in from the distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding
Like a slow volcano
When you come
When you come
Cover the ground, 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 Writer/s: Neil Mullane Finn
