Elizabeth Cook - When She Comes Lyrics

Talkin' the potential of my impending death
On a hotel room floor where I take my last breath
But they don't really know me, they don't know my shame
They just know they're empty, and they know my name
Know my name
 
Don't have to talk myself into being fierce
Don't have to worry how my mouth hits your ears
Who I was before I met you is who I'll be again
I just took a detour, I'd just lost a friend
Lost a friend
 
Might not see me coming but you'll hear them drums
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
 
The road is long and weary for those designed to shine
It's easy to burn out, easy to fall behind
But I don't let it get me, I keep moving on
I'm learning to accept, I'm better off alone
Alone
 
Like a shadow on the sun
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
 
Daddy quit smoking so he could walk the hills
When he bought the farm and paid off his bills
He got cancer shy of 88
So he flipped off the devil, said hey, I did great
I did great
Shug
 
Scatter my ashes where the river runs
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
On six white horses when she comes
They'll all come see her when she comes
Around the mountain when she comes

Talkin' the potential of my impending death
On a hotel room floor where I take my last breath
But they don't really know me, they don't know my shame
They just know they're empty, and they know my name
Know my name
 
Don't have to talk myself into being fierce
Don't have to worry how my mouth hits your ears
Who I was before I met you is who I'll be again
I just took a detour, I'd just lost a friend
Lost a friend
 
Might not see me coming but you'll hear them drums
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
 
The road is long and weary for those designed to shine
It's easy to burn out, easy to fall behind
But I don't let it get me, I keep moving on
I'm learning to accept, I'm better off alone
Alone
 
Like a shadow on the sun
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
 
Daddy quit smoking so he could walk the hills
When he bought the farm and paid off his bills
He got cancer shy of 88
So he flipped off the devil, said hey, I did great
I did great
Shug
 
Scatter my ashes where the river runs
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes
On six white horses when she comes
They'll all come see her when she comes
Around the mountain when she comes
