A Sort of Homecoming (Daniel Lanois Remix) Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I (Come away ah me)
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I (Come away ah me)

[Verse 1]
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

[Verse 2]
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight
[Bridge]
I'll be there tonight
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I (Come away ah me)
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I (Come away ah me)

[Verse 2]
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words
Just a scream, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight

[Verse 3]
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and falling snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
[Verse 4]
Ah, don't sorrow, no, don't weep
For tonight at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

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 [?]
