Bono - A Sort Of Homecoming lyrics

rate me

And you know it's time to go<br />

Through the sleet and driving snow<br />

Across the fields of mourning to a light that's in the distance.<br />

<br />

And you hunger for the time<br />

Time to heal, 'desire' time<br />

And your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape.<br />

<br />

On borderland we run.<br />

I'll be there, I'll be there tonight<br />

A high-road, a high-road out from here.<br />

<br />

The city walls are all come down<br />

The dust a smoke screen all around<br />

See faces ploughed like fields that once<br />

Gave no resistance.<br />

And we live by the side of the road<br />

On the side of a hill as the valleys explode<br />

Dislocated, suffocated<br />

The land grows weary of it's own.<br />

<br />

O com-away, o com-away, o-com, o com-away, I say I<br />

O com-away, o com-away, o-com, o com-away, I say I<br />

<br />

Oh, oh on borderland we run<br />

And still we run, we run and don't look back<br />

I'll be there, I'll be there<br />

Tonight, tonight<br />

I'll be there tonight, I believe<br />

I'll be there so high<br />

I'll be there tonight, tonight.<br />

<br />

Oh com-away, I say, o com-away, I say.<br />

<br />

The wind will crack in winter time<br />

This bomb-blast lightning waltz.<br />

No spoken words, just a scream<br />

Tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land<br />

See the sky, the burning rain<br />

She will die and live again tonight.<br />

<br />

And your heart beats so slow<br />

Through the rain and fallen snow<br />

Across the fields of mourning to a light that's in the distance.<br />

Oh, don't sorrow, no don't weep<br />

For tonight at last I am coming home.<br />

I am coming home.
