|
Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers run |
|
I'm swept away down distant paths, the road goes on |
|
From the halls of the free to the tower of torment |
|
Where treasures lie in mountains high |
|
The silent fields of stars so far and wide |
|
The oceans of infinity, the great divide |
|
In the heavens on high is a light so lonely |
|
The evening star that shines so far |
|
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind |
|
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind |
|
For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered |
|
The evening star has shone thus far |
|
River rushing, waters wide, just north of there |
|
Oh would that I was home again and home was here |
|
And the fire was warm and the wind would whisper |
|
You're home again, on roofs the rain |
|
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind |
|
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind |
|
For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered |
|
The evening star has shone thus far |
|
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind |
|
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind |
|
For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered |
|
The evening star to me you are |
