What is Soon

Verse 1

Closing my eyes in the dead of night

Slipped away while the moon was bright

Saw a figure with a strange kind of face

Standing there in that velvet space

He spoke of the girl I used to know

From a lifetime that ended long ago

Said she's returning and he won't be long

I just laughed and told him he was wrong

Pre-Chorus

He chuckled low like it was a joke

Every single word that his spirit spoke

Told me it was real

Now I know how the lonely feel

Chorus

He told me she's coming

(He told me she's coming)

He told me she's coming back home

(He told me she's coming)

It's been a long time coming

I've been waiting by the phone

Through the dark and the distance

And the seeds that were sown

Verse 2

Suddenly the bed frame began to shake

My roommate moved and I flew awake

Staring at the ceiling in the empty dorm

Feeling like a heart inside a storm

Reached for a pen while the room was black

Wrote on my skin so I could look back

Inked a little note right on my arm

Hoping she'd return with all her charm

Pre-Chorus

But the seasons turn and the years fly past

I'm still wondering how long it can last

God has a clock

While I'm standing on this rock

Chorus

He told me she's coming

(He told me she's coming)

He told me she's coming back home

(He told me she's coming)

It's been a long time coming

I've been waiting by the phone

Through the dark and the distance

And the seeds that were sown

Bridge

What is soon when the stars are high

For Saturn to orbit the velvet sky

A week or a month is what I see

But soon means forever it seems to me

Waiting on a dream

Trying not to scream

Chorus

He told me she's coming

(He told me she's coming)

He told me she's coming back home

(He told me she's coming)

It's been a long time coming

I've been waiting by the phone

Through the dark and the distance

And the seeds that were sown
