Saturn's Soon

Verse 1

Slipped through the edges of a shallow sleep

Caught in a vision I was meant to keep

Tall and strange a figure appeared to stand

Tracing out patterns with a pale thin hand

Pre-Chorus

He spoke a name from a distant past

Told me her return was coming fast

I gave a reply and he laughed at my face

Mocking my doubt in that hollow space

Chorus

He said she is coming soon

Under the glow of a shifting moon

She is coming soon

Believe what is written

He said she is coming soon

Through the air and the heavy room

She is coming soon

Stay driven

Verse 2

The bunk bed creaked with a sudden shift

Breaking the weight of my spirit's drift

Waking to the dark I reached for a pen

Wrote on my skin what might happen then

Pre-Chorus

Pressed to my arm just a messy ink line

Hope against hope for a quiet sign

I whispered a wish to the empty air

Finding the ghost of a hidden prayer

Chorus

He said she is coming soon

Under the glow of a shifting moon

She is coming soon

Believe what is written

He said she is coming soon

Through the air and the heavy room

She is coming soon

Stay driven

Bridge

But the months have crawled by in a long slow line

Searching the clock for a sacred design

What is the scale of a heavenly hour

Waiting for the seed to become the flower

Is it a week or a month in the plan

Or the orbit of Saturn across the span

God's version of soon is a mystery

Measuring out my own history

Chorus

He said she is coming soon

Under the glow of a shifting moon

She is coming soon

Believe what is written

He said she is coming soon

Through the air and the heavy room

She is coming soon

Stay driven
