lyrics

St. Jude’s Lament

The water’s wide and the ocean’s deep
Fly plane fly; while I get some sleep
Go tell St. Jude: no more I’ll ever roam
I’m coming home, I’m coming home.

I’ve been to lands where no wars were won
Known seas of sand; an unforgiving sun
Seen bullets fly in cities made of stone
I’m coming home, I’m coming home.

I’ve done my duty, I’ve served my time
I’ve walked through hell but I held the line
Been blown to pieces; cut right to the bone
Now I’m coming home, I’m coming home.

Chorus
The lost and the lonely, forgotten and damned
Won’t you be guided by St. Jude’s hand?
In fear and in darkness, in the evil of the night
Let St. Jude guide you home tonight.

Once I was lost but now I’m found
While better men lie, buried in the ground
Go thank St. Jude: I never walked alone
I’m coming home, I’m coming home.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

The ocean’s deep and the water’s wide
My woman waits; so ride plane ride
Go tell St. Jude: no more I’ll ever roam
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’m coming home, Lord, I’m coming home.
