Joy Williams - By Surprise Lyrics

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
