10cc - Ready To Go Home lyrics

On the street below these walls Where I used to walk Now I can barely crawl All this darkness rising tall Lord shine a light for me I'm waiting to be called I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin Take this river to the sea Where the Delta flows The tide is washing over me Guide this soul to Heaven's door Show me where tomorrow lies I'm waiting to be born I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise I must keep I'm ready to go home So tired I lay down With these memories Breathe shallow deep inside of me If time has run its course with me Then I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin When the evening shadows fall When the time has come I'll let defences fall To surrender's to survive I will give up everything To those I leave behind I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise I must keep I'm ready to go home Again
