Audioslave - Out Of Exile lyrics

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

and 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

On the altar of a sunrise

was a wedding in the waves

And inside her shown a young light

from her labor I was saved

Though I've traveled long in darkness

in her harvest I'm embraced

[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

Now the spires and the gables

grow in orchards to the sky

And the blessings on my table

multiply and divide

[Chorus]

When you come down to take me home

send my soul away

Yeah when you come round you'll make me whole

send my soul away

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

send my soul away

Send my soul away

send my soul away
