Coming Home Lyrics

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
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
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 the vapor trails alight Where I've been tonight You know I will not stay
Curving on the edge of daylight Till it slips into the void Waited in the long night dreaming Till the Sun is born again
Stretch the fingers of my hand Cover countries with my span Just a lonely satellite A speck of dust in cosmic sand
Over borders that divide the Earthbound tribes [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/coming-home-lyrics-iron-maiden.html ] Flown the dark Atlantic Over mariners' stormy graves
We will ride this thunderbird Silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away Our land of birth
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 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 fast
Coming home far away As the vapor trails alight Where I've been tonight You know I will not stay
Coming home far away When I see the runway lights In the misty dawn The night is fading fast
Coming home far away As the vapor trails alight Where I've been tonight You know I will not stay
*end*
