"A Sort Of Homecoming" Lyrics U2

A sort of homecoming is the first song off U2's Unforgettable Fire album. Said Bono of the album in 1987, 'The Unforgettable Fire was a beautifully out-of-focus record, blurred like an impressionist painting, very unlike a billboard or an advertising slogan. ...... In America there was such a backlash when we put out The Unforgettable Fire.

People thought we were the future of rock'n'roll and they went, 'What are you doin' with this doggone hippie Eno album?' 'We owe Eno and Lanois so much for seeing through to the heart of U2.' (Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois produced the album and many subsequent records.

A Sort of Homecoming also featured on the U2 EP, Wide Awake in America.

A Sort of Homecoming Lyrics:

And you know it's time to go

Through the sleet and driving snow

Across the fields of mourning

To a light that's 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

I'll be there, I'll be there tonight

A high road

A high road out from here

The city walls are all pulled down

The dust a smokescreen 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 valley explodes

Dislocated, suffocated

The land grows weary of its own

Yosoma way oh coma way o com o coma way say I

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

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 believe

I'll be there so hold on

I'll be there tonight

Tonight

Yocoma way amy samwesay oma

Yocoma way oma say

The wind will crack in wintertime

This bomb-blast lightning waltz

No spoken words, just a scream, 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

And your heart beats so slow

Through the rain and fallen snow

Across the fields of mourning

To a light that's in the distance

Oh, don't sorrow,

No don't weep for tonight, at last

I am coming home

I am coming home
