Jacob Thompson - Soon Enough Lyrics

A thousand feet down below the water
Thumbing through the pages of a bible
The hours crawl past him in his bunk bed
With nothing but a ring to remind him
That he'll be home
Soon Enough

30 days out her water's breaking
He was supposed to be the one to drive
Now she's dialing the neighbors and praying
That somebody's home to give her a ride
Will she make it to the hospital
Soon enough

We have atomic clocks and calendars
To help us plan our lives
But all it takes is a baby to remind us
That none of us have the power to tell time

In the first week of June the Captain came with news
At this time yesterday a child was born
He put his arm around him he said Chief
I wish we could have had you back on shore
Soon enough

He'll be home
Soon enough
He'll kiss his wife
Soon Enough
Can't hold his firstborn
Soon enough
