Coming Home

When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done Oh, the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time [Chorus 1] Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away, our land of birth [Chorus 2] To Albion's land, Coming home When I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Solo] [Chorus 2]
