Lyrics to the U2 album The Unforgettable Fire:
A Sort of Homecoming
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, oh - on borderland we run I'll be there - I'll be there tonight A highroad, a highroad out from here
The city walls are all come down The dust a smoke screen all around See faces ploughed like fields that once gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road On the side of a hill as the valleys explode Dislocated, suffocated The land grows weary of its own
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
The wind will crack in wintertime This bomb blast lightning waltz No spoken words - just a scream
Tonight we'll a bridge across the sea and land See the sky, the burning rain She will die and live again 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, at last, I am coming home I am coming homeΩ
