Lyrics:
Do you feel me coming home?
Will you see me coming home?
When I’m feeling all alone
Do you want to be at home?
Will I ask myself
To be someone else?
Will you see me in the afterlife?
Will you tell me what you think it’s like,
Come and tell me it’ll be alright?
Will I see you in the afterlife?
Someone inside me saved me,
Made me see the light.
Someone had to make it feel alright.
All these expectations
Turned me inside out and now I find
I want to see you in the afterlife.
Want you to tell me what you think it’s like
Come and tell me it’ll be alright,
Do what I’m doing
I will be just fine.
Someone inside me saved me,
Made me see the light.
Someone had to make it feel alright.
Don’t you try to save me,
Tell me I’ll be fine doin’ what I like.
Will you see me in the afterlife?
Will you tell me it’ll be alright?
Will you tell me that I’ll be just fine?
Will you tell me in the afterlife?
Will you feel like coming home?
Does it feel like coming home?
Will you feel like coming home?
Does it feel like coming home?
Oooh…
Oooh…

So beautifully and classically Sharon. Feel like I’ve known this song all my life. Can’t wait to see you and the band next year in Manchester.
Lost a friend this month so this hits hard. I don’t think I believe in it, but I understand the afterlife as a very natural human hope and it gives comfort to people who need it. Thank you for all of your music Sharon.
Love this new sound, like Jupiter 4 reborn
