I've been across, I've been across
This whole universe
More than I could care to tell
Lightspeed has had its effect on me
I've been away for too long

When I left to find some peace of mind
Baby said, she said to me,
"Take care and bring back
Bring back a star for me.
Don't be away for too long
Don't be away for too long."

Well I've been away but I'm coming back home.

The sky is beginning to glow
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
There's not that much longer to go
I'm coming home
Home is where I want to be

I've changed and I want you to know
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Nothing can prepare you
Nothing can prepare you
For the rush of planetfall

I've seen the sun, sun setting - setting sun
On so many different worlds
But I long to feel old Sol
To feel sun sunny Sol again
I've been away for too long

I can see the rings of Saturn now
They're spinning, spinning just for me
I've been away for too long
I've been away but I'm coming back home

I'm tired, oh I tried to be strong
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I know this is where I belong
I'm coming home ...
Home is where I want to be

I've seen the light and I know I've been wrong
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Nothing can prepare you
Nothing can prepare you
For the rush of planetfall

I'm coming home.

The sky is beginning to glow
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
There's not that much longer to go
I'm coming home
Home is where I want to be

I'm tired, oh I tried to be strong
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I know this is where I belong
I'm coming home ...
Home is where I want to be

I've seen the light and I know I've been wrong
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Nothing can prepare you
Nothing can prepare you
For the rush of planetfall

Yeah, for the rush of planetfall
Yeah, for the rush of planetfall
Yeah, for the rush of planetfall
