"A Sort of Homecoming"

by U2
Album: Wide Awake in America

Yeah, woo

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

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

Oh, on borderland we run and still we run
I'll be there, I'll be there, tonight
We'll build a bridge across the sea and land

The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around
Faces ploughed like fields
That once gave no resistance

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
I'll be there tonight
I'll be there, so long

O coma way o coma o com o coma way say I
O coma way o coma o com o coma way say

Now the wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream

Tonight, we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
I'll be there, I'll be there
Tonight, tonight

And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

Oh, don't sorrow,
No don't weep for tonight, with you
I am coming home
I am coming home
