Letra Kingdom come Emeli Sandé

Kingdom come

Ho-oh, ho-oh, woah
Ho-oh, ho-oh, woah
Ho-oh, ho-oh, woah

Daddy been cleaning windows
Daddy been shining shoes
Daddy's a taxi driver
Driving all night surviving on a couple hours sleep in the afternoon
Daddy's so home sick
Twenty years past, Daddy's job and still no promotion

Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running
Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running
Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Mommy been lighting candles
Mommy been saying prayers
Mommy don't think she can [?]
No more thugs or thieves or dogs or sharks or grizzly bears
Mommy's so fed up
Four-night shifts in a row but the debt won't let up

Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

And I know she loved to travel
Take a picture in the album
But that's something come and gone
And the kids need you to force
And I know he loved to hold her
I mean really get to know her
But that's something come and gone
And the kids need you to force

Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel
Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

I pray you get home safe
I pray [?]
I pray you don't lose faith, pray you don't lose faith
Laughing at this fool momma, I pray you see old age
I've seen you go to work and come home and go to work
And not moan about your worth
Because there's nothing in your purse
But that money don't define you
Plus, you hate being lied to
That's probably why there's no fella beside you
But besides that, I'm beside you
Hospital bedside, thinking how the fuck can I [retired?] you
There's no quittin', there's no quittin'
What good's a fire in the booth if I could burn with those lyrics
Clock's tickin' and it's getting hard for me
They just said my mother's got heart disease
Man, I swear I felt that in my artery
If we could swap I'd give you every part of me
Every lesson that you taught me was priceless
I mean it's funny how you add value when you're a minus
Corned beef sandwich for dinner when we were [?]
Had that shit time after time, I guess it's timeless
The candles stayed lit when the electric gave in
I kept our fire burning, mom, we never gave in
And if the kingdom's coming man it's best waiting
'Cause I ain't leaving your side, it's gonna be a long night

Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel
Fuck that, Daddy
You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running
Fuck that, Mommy
You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Kingdom coming
Don't you lose [?] over kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
Don't you lose [?] over kingdom coming
I know [?] kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
I can't see [?] kingdom coming, kingdoms coming
Kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
Don't you lose [?] over kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
Don't you lose [?] over kingdom coming
I know [?] kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
I can't see [?] kingdom coming
Don't you [?] over kingdom coming
