Oysterband - Holy Bandits

We Shall Come Home

Wild wood, setting sun
It makes the shadows longer
Wise blood, cut and run
Away, away
Wild wood, setting sun
It makes the shadows stronger
I need to touch someone
At the dying of the day

Wild wood, bush and briar
It makes your feet to stumble
Wise blood, the sky's on fire
Away, away
Wild wood, bush and briar
It makes your hands to tremble
Love, you mustn't tire
At the dying of the day

CHORUS
Like the child that needs protection
For whom his mother prays
Through a world that needs correction
We wander all our days
Wild to make our mark
We shall come home
We shall come home
We shall come home
We shall come home before dark

Wild wood, dark and deep
This is a world of danger
Wise blood, better keep
Away, away
Wild wood, dark and deep
The world is getting stranger
Love, don't fall asleep
At the dying of the day

CHORUS

We shall come home
We shall come home
We shall come home
We shall come home before dark
Oh ...

We shall come home ...
We shall come home ...
We shall come home ...
... Home ...
