Lyrics

Here He Comes

[Verse 1]

Here he comes

The boy who tried to vanish

To the future or past is no longer here

With his sad blue eyes

Here he comes

He floated away

And as he rose above reason

He rose above the clouds

He was seven feet high

Here he comes

The night is like a glove

And he's floating like a dove

That catches the wind

In the deep blue sky

Here he comes

The boy who tried to vanish

To another time

Is no longer here

With his sad blue eyes

[Chorus]

Here he comes

Here he comes

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Bass Solo: Paul Rudolph]

[½ Chorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

Here he comes

The boy who tried to vanish

To another place

Sees us following here

All one at a time

Here he comes

And we're checking out each other's supplies

And looking at the eyes of all the others

Standing in the line

Here he comes

The night is like a glove

And he's floating like a dove

With his deep blue eyes

In the deep blue sky

Here he comes

The boy who tried to vanish

To the future or past is no longer alone

Among the dragonflies

[Chorus]

Here he comes

Here he comes

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Post-Chorus]

Who will remember him? (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Who will remember him? (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Instrumental Outro]
