Chris Cornell - Out Of Exile lyrics

[Verse 1] When I first came to this island That I called by my own name I was happy in this fortress In my exile I remained But the hours grew so empty And the ocean sent her waves In the figure of a woman She pulled me out to sea [Chorus] When you come down to take me home Send my soul away When you come 'round you'll make me whole Send my soul away [Verse 2] On the altar of a sunrise Was a wedding in the waves And inside her shone a young light From her labor I was saved Though I've traveled long in darkness In her harvest I'm embraced [Chorus] [Bridge] Now the spires and the gables Grow in orchards to the sky And the blessings on my table Multiply and divide [Chorus] [Outro] Yeah, when you come down to take me home When you come 'round you'll make me whole Yeah, when you come down to take me home Send my soul away [x2]
