Coming Home
When I stand before you shining in the early morning sunWhen I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've doneOh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbyeAs the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time
Over borders that divide the earthbound tribesNo creed and no religion just a hundred winged soulsWe will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earthA thousand leagues away, our land of birth
To Albion's landComing home when I see the runway lightsIn the misty dawn the night is fading fastComing home, far away as their vapor trails alignWhere I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the voidWaited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born againStretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my spanJust a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand
Over borders that divide the earthbound tribesThrough the dark Atlantic; over mounting stormy wavesWe will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earthA thousand leagues away, our land of birth
To Albion's landComing home when I see the runway lightsIn the misty dawn the night is fading fastComing home, far away as their vapor trails alignWhere I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
To Albion's landComing home when I see the runway lightsIn the misty dawn the night is fading fastComing home, far away as their vapor trails alignWhere I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
Coming home, far away when I see the runway lightsIn the misty dawn the night is fading fastComing home, far away as their vapor trails alignWhere I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
