Coming Home Lyrics

[Verse 2]
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


[Pre-Chorus]
Over borders that divide
The earthbound tribes

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

[Chorus]
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 vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
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 vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay

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 vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
