When Are You Coming Home Shamwari? - John Edmond

A cloud of black surrounds me He comes to me at night A land where lions roam free A land of no delight I'd buy a thousand hearts To tear them all apart I'd burn a thousand stars To find the one that might Put out the fire in me Take all the rage that feeds me I've known it all along The stars are coming home The stars are coming home Put out the fire in me Take all the rage that feeds me I've known It all along The stars are coming home The stars are coming home I'd buy a thousand hearts To tear them all apart I'd burn a thousand stars To find the one that might Put out the fire in me Take all the rage that feeds me I've known it all along The stars are coming home The stars are coming home Put the fire in me Take the rage that feeds us We will leave this darkness The stars are coming home The stars- Ah-aah, I'm finally coming home The stars are coming home The stars- I'm finally coming home

Ooh, hmm Ooh, hmm, hm I wonder what you've seen since you've been away Did you think about me? I thought about you every day I heard you met somebody new (I heard you met somebody new) But, boy, you know she's not for you (but, boy, you know she's not for you) Nobody knows you like I do Don't fight it, boy, you know it's true I can picture you now Easy riding in your car With the windows down low Wondering if you're near or far On the run for so long Are you still playing our song? You are my only one So when are you coming home? I can picture you now Easy riding in your car With the windows down low Wondering if you're near or far On the run for so long Are you still playing our song? You are my only one So when are you coming home? Did you make through the ocean, so blue? Did you dive deeper down to the places I couldn't take you? I know you met somebody new (I know you met somebody new) We know you're gonna leave her, too (we know you're gonna leave her, too) Nobody knows you like I do Don't fight it, boy, you know it's true I can picture you now Easy riding in your car With the windows down low Wondering if you're near or far On the run for so long Are you still playing our song? You are my only one So when are you coming home? I can picture you now Easy riding in your car With the windows down low Wondering if you're near or far On the run for so long Are you still playing our song? You are my only one So when are you coming home? I wanna be your number one Make me feel alive I wanna be your number one Make me feel alive I can picture you now Easy riding in your car With the windows down low Wondering if you're near or far On the run for so long Are you still playing our song? You are my only one So when are you coming home? I can be your number one Make me feel alive I wanna be your number one Make me feel alive

Got that text of you in my red scarf Makes me feel, we're not that far apart But relationships over the phone can be hard, they strain the heart But I swear, this year we'll go back to the start 'Cause I just need to see you This Christmas, this Christmas I'll be coming home to you Coming home to you This Christmas, my wish is To be coming home to you In the snow with you This Christmas, I'll be coming home to you I miss the way the snow falls on your face Christmas in California ain't the same (those nights) I've been gone to long, missed all those holidays I'll take the blame But I swear, this year won't be the same Oh, I can't wait to see you again I can't wait to see you again Oh, I just need to see you again I just need to see you This Christmas, this Christmas I'll be coming home to you Coming home to you This Christmas, my wish is To be coming home to you In the snow with you This Christmas, I'll be coming home to you I'll be coming home to you Oh, I'll be coming home Life's pushed me down every road To get me where all I should go But I can't fill my hole alone, oh-oh-oh So this Christmas, this Christmas I'll be coming home to you Coming home to you This Christmas, my wish is To be coming home to you In the snow with you This Christmas, I'll be coming home to you

Lonely soldier walking on a late pass Trying to find some comfort in the city night Then he saw her sitting in the corner Saw her eyes were smiling at him through the candle light. And she looked just like the girl that had walked through his dream She truly had the bluest eyes he'd ever seen And there he was in jungle green. In the morning found that they were moving Far away to carry on the cruel war No one to tell her that he fought and fell there Thinking of the blue eyes he was really fighting for. And she looked just like the girl that had walked through his dream She truly had the bluest eyes he'd ever seen And there he was in jungle green.

If you have a look around a jungle JOC. It isn't very hard to find a super cop; You can tell who he is if you look down 'Cause he don't wear those boots of brown. He wears black boots and he's comin to get ya, An eagle on his sleeve and I can bet ya, Any old place where the black boots are, It ain't no place for a gandanga. He can run like a cheetah, he can fight like a bear, He can jump like a kudu, he can jinx like a hare And just like a monkey he can climb a tree, He can swim like a tiger in the Zambezi. He wears black boots and he's comin to get ya, An eagle on his sleeve and I can bet ya, Any old place where the black boots are, It ain't no place for a gandanga. If a terr's on the run or if he goes to ground, Doesn't really matter 'cause they'll hunt him down And if that terr's the first that shoots, He's got no chance against the Black Boots, He wears black boots and he's comin to get ya, An eagle on his sleeve and I can bet ya, Any old place where the black boots are, It ain't no place for a gandanga. 'Way down Thrasher or a Hurricane, Repulse, Tangent, it's all the same, They can go where they like, do what they can, But the Black boots always get their man. He wears black boots and he's comin to get ya, An eagle on his sleeve and I can bet ya, Any old place where the black boots are, It ain't no place for a gandanga. He wears black boots and he's comin to get ya, An eagle on his sleeve and I can bet ya, Any old place where the black boots are, It ain't no place for a gandanga.

Right now I feel like a forgotten soldier, I've been eight hours on the road. Doesn't anybody see me standing here, In my soldier's coat? And rain ain't kindly to a weary man And passing cars look snug and warm. There ain't no comforts for a forgotten soldier Standing in the storm. Hey! I think I'll read your crumpled letter one more time To reassure me that our love has stood the test. Hey, the words you wrote are poetry to me that is, And I cherish them and hold them to my breast. Deep down I know that I'm no forgotten soldier, Though you're a million stars away Soon friendly headlights will be shining down And slowing down for me. And there will be a place to close my eyes And almost feel the kiss From lips that tell me I'm no forgotten soldier Somewhere in the mist. Hey! I think I'll read your crumpled letter One more time To reassure me that our love has stood the test. Hey, the words you wrote are poetry to me that is, And I cherish them and hold them to my breast. So when I feel like a forgotten soldier And when the night is extra long, That crumpled letter is my inspiration, The words just push me on. They wash my blues away with memories That we will soon renew And then I won't be a forgotten soldier When I am home with you. And then I won't be a forgotten soldier When I am home with you. No, I won't be a forgotten soldier When I am home with you.
