Lyrics Joy Williams

Joy Williams

By Surprise

I've got a secret to tell,

A midnight confession.

I love the life that I lead,

But it's no obsession,

Because I'm waiting, anticipating

watching for your return

you'll come and get me

you know I'm ready

enjoy my stay, but you'll take me away

Like a thief in the night

like a runaway train

like a first class lightning fast hurricane

I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky

I'm ready now but somehow I know you'll take me by surprise

So I'll keep spreading the word to everybody

Until the masses have heard, about this party

Because I'm waiting anticipating

watching for you return

you'll come and get me

you know I'm ready

Enjoy my stay but you'll take me away

Like a thief in the night

like a runaway train

like a first class, lightning fast hurricane

I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky

I'm ready now but some how I know you'll take me by surprise

I R.SV.P.'d on the invitation

I sent it care of the blood

That saved me on the spot

With the One who will come

Like a thief in the night

like a runaway train

like a first class lightning fast hurricane

I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky

I'm ready now but somehow I know you'll take me by surprise
