Kingdom Come

(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.
