[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Over borders that divide
The earthbound tribes
No creed and no religion
Just a hundred winged souls
We will ride this Thunderbird
Silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away
Our land of birth

[Chorus]
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
