"When It Comes Down"(c) 1989
words & music by J. Leigh Stone

I've waited in the city
waited in the country
waited on an island
very far from here

Waited in the water
waited on a mountain
I've waited for the voices to stop
so I can hear

But I know
I'll be ready
when it comes down

But I know I won't be waiting
When It Comes Down

I've waited for the right way
I've waited to be told it
waited for the rules
to suddenly appear

Living on the outside
wanting for the inside
I've waited for somebody
to tell me I was

But I know I'll be ready when it comes down
but I know I won't be waiting when it comes down

When it comes down I'll be ready
I won't be the one to go and run and hide
I'll be the one who was waiting
too long for the other side

When it comes down you will know it
the lights in the stadium will never go down
When it come down you will follow me
And I won't let you down
Baby when it comes down

They'll be no more waitin'
no more hesitatin'
waitin for somebody to tell me
you'll go far
Countin all the hours
plucked just like a flower
waitin for somebody to show me
my lucky star

But I know I'll be ready when it comes down
but I know I won't be waiting when it comes down

When it comes down I'll be ready
I won't be the one to go and run and hide
I'll be the one who was waiting
too long for the other side

When it comes down you will know it
the lights in the stadium will never go down
When it comes down I'll be ready
And I won't make a sound

Baby when it comes down
oh you will know it
Baby when it comes down
you're gonna see me yeah

When it comes down
I'll be ready
I won't be the one to go and run and hide
I'll be the one who was waitin
too long for the other side

When it comes down
you will know it
lights in the stadium
will never go down
When it comes down
I'll be ready
and I won't have to make a sound
whoa baby when it comes down
whoa baby when it comes down
whoa
