And you know it's time to go
C6 C2
through the sleet and driving snow
C6 C2
across the fields of mourning to a
Intro
light's in C6the distance
C2 C6 G4 C2
And you hunger for the time
C6 C2
time to heal, 'Desire', time
C6 C2
and your earth moves beneath
C6 C2
your own dream landscape
C6 C2
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
C C2 C C2 C2 G4 G Cii
I'll be there, I'll be there
C C2 C C2
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here
C2 G4 G Cii
the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to 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 it's own
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I hmm hmm
C6 C2 C6 C2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I
C6 C2 C6 C2
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, and still we run, we run and don't look back
C C2 C C2 C2 G4 G C
I'll be there, I'll be there tonight tonight tonight
C C2 C C2 C2 G4 G G4
I'll be there tonight, I believe. I'll be there so high (land),
F7
I'll be there tonight, tonight____________
G C2 C6 C2
O come away, I sing I say, um ha, o come away oh say.
C6 C2 C6 C2
The wind will crack in wintertime
C6
this bomb-blast lightning waltz
C2 C6
no spoken words, just a scream . . . yeah.... oh........ oh.....
C2 C6 C2 C6 G4 G C C2 C C2
tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
C2 G4 G Cii
see the sky burning rain
C C2
she will die and live again tonight_______
C C2 C2 G4 G Cii C6 C2 C6 G4 G C6 C2 C6 G4 G
And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
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
