Lyrics Coming Home (Live) - Iron Maiden

Come on!

When I stand before you shining
In the early morning sun
When I feel the engines roar
And I think of what we've done
Oh, the bittersweet reflection
As we kiss the earth goodbye
As the waves and echoes of the towns
Become the ghosts of time

Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
No creed and no religion
Just a 100 winged souls
We will ride this thunderbird
Silver shadows on the earth
A 1000 leagues away our land of birth

Come on, give it to me!

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

Curving on the edge of daylight
As it slips into the void
Waited in the long night dreaming
'Til 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

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 1000 leagues away our land of birth

(To Albion's land)
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast, Chile
(Coming home) Far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay

Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay
Coming home, far away
When I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast, Santiago
(Coming home) Far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay
