The Saints Are Coming (With Green Day) Lyrics by U2

The Saints Are Coming (With Green Day)

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the silver dawn
It's been the ruin
Of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

I cried to my daddy on the telephone, how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home, the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent

[Instrumental]

I cried to my daddy on the telephone How long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent yeah, yeah

The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply

The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply

Living like birds in magnolia trees
A child on a rooftop
A mother on her knees
Her sign reads
Please, I am an American

Drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief, how long now
Until a weather change condemns belief, how long now
When the night watchman lets in the thief, what's wrong now

The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply

The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply...
