lyrics
Coming Home Song – Words & music by Bob Kettle
The Wind will take our wings,
The Wind will take our wings,
The Wind will take our wings,
and we will fly away.
We will fly away,
we will fly away,
we will fly away
The Wind will take our wings
The Fire will burn down,
The Fire will burn down,
The Fire will burn down,
and The Ashes blow away.
The Ashes blow away,
The Ashes blow away,
The Ashes blow away,
when the fire burns down.
The Ocean overflows,
The Ocean overflows,
The Ocean overflows,
and we are washed away.
We are washed away
we are washed away,
we are washed away,
when The Ocean overflows.
I want to live in peace,
I want to live in peace,
I want to live in peace,
but I was born in war.
I was born in war,
I was born in war,
I was born in war,
but I want to live in peace.
I am coming home,
I am coming home,
I am coming home,
I am a refugee.
I am a refugee,
I am a refugee,
I am a refugee,
And I am coming home.
The Wind will take our wings,
The Wind will take our wings,
The Wind will take our wings,
and we will fly away.

Its two fantastic bands cooperating to make something really special. A folk super group if ever there was one.
I love Donna Lola because of the story and because it is simply a great song done really well. upforit68

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

Such a broad range of roots music styles; trad English, modern Scottish, Americana.
The first track is fabulous, took me right back to teenage years listening to Fairport.
Hope it gets the recognition it deserves Derrick Turner
