Crowded House - When You Come Lyrics

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 well 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
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 armor
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 well I could never let you down

She came out of the water into my horizon
Like a cumulo nimbus coming in from a distance
Burning and exploding, burning and exploding like a slow volcano
When you come, when, when you come
Cover the ground, cover the ground with ashes, with ashes
Bring me when you come

I've been chased down when you come
Burning and exploding when you come
When you come
