Outside there's a box car waiting Outside the family stew Out by the fire breathing Outside we wait 'til face turns blue I know the nervous walking I know the dirty beard hangs Out by the box car waiting Take me away to nowhere plains There is a wait so long You'll never wait so long Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Big shake on the box car moving Big shake to the land that's falling down Is a wind makes a palm stop blowing A big, big stone fall and break my crown There is a wait so long You'll never wait so long Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man There is a wait so long You'll never wait so long Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man Here comes your man
