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 doneOh the bittersweet reflection

As we kiss the earth goodbye

As the waves and echoes of the

Towns become the ghosts of timeOver borders that divide the

Earthbound tribes

No creed and no religion

Just a hundred winged soulsWe will ride this thunderbird

Silver shadows on the earth

A thousand leagues away

Our land of birthTo Albion's land

Coming home

When I see the runway lights

In the misty dawn

The night is fading fastComing home far away

As the vapor trails alight

Where I've been tonight

You know I will not stayCurving on the edge of daylight

Till it slips into the void

Waited in the long night dreaming

Till the Sun is born againStretch the fingers of my hand

Cover countries with my span

Just a lonely satellite

A speck of dust in cosmic sandOver borders that divide the

Earthbound tribes

Flown the dark Atlantic

Over mariners' stormy gravesWe will ride this thunderbird

Silver shadows on the earth

A thousand leagues away

Our land of birthTo Albion's land

Coming home

When I see the runway lights

In the misty dawn

The night is fading fastComing home far away

As the vapor trails alight

Where I've been tonight

You know I will not stay*solo*To Albion's land

Coming home

When I see the runway lights

In the misty dawn

The night is fading fastComing home far away

As the vapor trails alight

Where I've been tonight

You know I will not stayComing home far away

When I see the runway lights

In the misty dawn

The night is fading fastComing home far away

As the vapor trails alight

Where I've been tonight

You know I will not stay*end*
