Sade – Bring Me Home Lyrics

Sade · Soldier Of Love

R&B

The ground is full of broken stones
The last leaf has fallen
I have nowhere to turn now
Not east, not west, north or south

And all that's ahead of me
And everything I know
I know nothing so
So bring me home

Put me on a plate with petals and a fire
And send me out to sea
Turn my angry sword against my heart
And let me free

The dawn holds the heaviness of the night
I've heard the restless sighs and lovers lies
The brook, the beach and seen the devil's eyes
So bring me home

I've cried for the lives I've lost
Like a child in need of love

Oh, I've been so close but far away from God
My tears flow like a child's in need of love
I've cried the tears so let the tide take me
I won't fight, I've cried the tears

The small step I need to take is a mountain
Stretched out like a lazy dog
Send me to slaughter
Lay me on the railway line

I'm far away from God
My tears flow like a child's in need of love
I've cried the tears so build the fire
And light the flame, bring me home

Originally I agreed with the first comment, but now I wonder if she singing about being ready to die. It's a beautiful song either way, one of my faves.

i do wonder to if its being ready to die. The words are so deep like she's just tired of stuff in life and she wants to be somewhere else. The song is very sad and kinda sad

I think it's about surrendering... Giving up and being ready to find God... That's what I get, needing help being drawn back to finding God.

i think she is talking about how life has treated her, and how shes cried, and when she said shes been close but far away from God, i think she means shes been close to dying but not close to God, and in the song i think she is saying she lived and cried plenty of times, and is now ready to be close to God and surrender and come back home to heaven with him.

Yea I think she may have been close to fatal pain she said she seen the devils eyes and she cried etc it sounds like she almost fell into something but I love sade in absolute.
