Bring Me Home

The ground is full of broken stones The last leaf has fallen I have nowhere to turn now Nor east nor west, north or south And all that's ahead of me Everything I know I know nothing so So bring me home Put me on a plate with petals and a fire And send me out to sea Turn my angry sword against my heart And let me free The dawn holds The heaviness of the night I've heard the restless sighs and lover's lies The brook, the beach and seen the devil's eyes So bring me home I've cried for the lives I've lost Like a child in need of love Oh and I've been so close but far away from God My tears flow like a child's in need of love I've cried the tears So let the tide take me, I won't fight I've cried the tears The small step I need to take is a mountain Stretched out like a lazy dog Send me to slaughter Lay me on the railway line, I'm far away from God My tears flow like a child's in need of love I've cried the tears So build the fire, light the flame Bring me home --- Bring Me Home - Sade
